1. The Lake
We spent a ton of time this summer enjoying my parents cottage. At the lake Trevor swam, had picnic lunches by the beach, got to see Gigi and Auntie auntie lots (who give super yummy snacksa),built towers in the sand, wakeboarded, went on Uncle Al's big boat, went on the Sea Doo, played at the Island, went fishing, rode bikes up and down the super long street, got to take tubbies with our cousins and just in general got to spend lots of quality time together hanging out.

2. Ethan's House
Hanging at Auntie Amy's/Ethan's house was "super duper" fun. They have a great big yard with a swing set and huge sand box. Their driveway is "giant" long and has a "super fast" hill at the end which is just perfect for racing on scooters or bikes. The boys creatively added water to the whole equation and sped through their puddles to create huge sprays! Ethan, Trevor and Isaac spent most of the days enjoying the out of doors. Sleeping in Ethans lighting Mc Q.ueen bedroom was always a bonus too.
We had such beautiful weather this summer, it was never really too hot to be outside. I enjoyed watching Trevor have so much fun with his cousins and I also enjoyed getting to spend time with my littlest nephew Tyler! Of course, the best part for me was getting to spend so much time with my sister.
3. Riding a big bike all "by myself"
Conquering riding a two wheeler was a huge accomplishment for Trevor this summer. It was soo fun to be able to go on bike rides with him riding a big bike. He is SOOO very proud of himself and we are pretty sure he thinks he is the "BOMB" of a bike rider. Most recently he has demonstrated to us many "tricks", his favorite being driving with 1 hand. You can't help but giggle at this little clown. And wearing a helmet is always something he remembers, even if it is just for a 1 minute ride. (It sure does this Mommy's heart well).
4. Bible schools
Trevor went to 2 different bible schools this summer and loved both of them. We are fortunate to have a CD of one of them. He loves the music and talks frequently about them. They have spurred on his interest in memorizing bible verses. Accomplishing memorizing the Lord's Prayer has been a joy for us as parents and you can see Trevors face explode with joy whenever he is able to say it all by himself. Seeing his little personality in new situations and around new children was so encouraging to witness. I was at both bible schools and he was great staying with his class instead of in years past running to me. You go little man, so independent.
5. Reading
With Mommy being a bit under the weather for a good portion of the summer, Trevor needed to have some activities where Mom could visit with the couch. He took more of an interest in his Leap Pad and in reading books. He cracks me up, going to the library to him is just about as much fun as gettting a new toy. He goes from book to book as though it doesn't get better than this book. He is currently into animals that swim in water and Dr. Suess books. His current favorite book is, "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish".
