With school making it’s way to our house next week, here’s a few things helping us hold on to Summer just a little bit longer!
- Pura Vida – This site lives and breathes Summer. I’m loving these egg carton sea creatures and this cantelope ice cream dessert looks delicious!
- My Happy Life is whipping up some yummy smoothie pops.
- No Biggie has a fun twist on serving watermelon, squeeze on some lime!
- Old Red Barn Co. – I love that this family is such an outdoorsy type family. These magic potions look all too fun to create.
- French Knots shares her family field trip to a free local water park. I love that these fun parks are popping up all over. There’s a few in Utah scattered around. We’ll be hitting up this Highland water park this week!
What Summer fun are you having before school begins? Or has class already stared for your kids?

we still have a few weeks till school; trying to pack in as much fun as we can before it’s over. you guys start next week? Summer seems to have gone by so fast this year.
Well, public schools have been in session for nearly 2 weeks around here. We homeschool though and will not begin lessons until the first week of September. *YEP, all the neighborhood kids are jealous!
We have just been relaxing (WITH NO ADDITIONAL KIDS AROUND).
Popsicles, bike riding, running in the sprinkler….things that can be done AT HOME!!
We are already going into our second week of school, here in HOT Arizona! Summer was great, and I’m jealous of those still enjoying it.

Thanks for the ideas! Avery is starting Kindergarten (aahhh!) but school doesn’t start here until Sept. 9. So that makes me happy because we still have more summer time!
