Summer Plans

Monday was Gavin's first full day of summer. He woke up bright and early and said "Mom, what are all the fun things we are going to do this summer?" Luckily, we do have some great things to look forward to this summer. 

This week we are just kicking back and enjoying not having to do anything. Next week is our Worlton family reunion at the Grand Bear Lodge in Starved Rock, Illinois. It is a great indoor waterpark resort and all of my siblings and their children will be there. We are so excited!

 Gavin will continue to go to social skills classes everyday for 2 hours in the morning for most of the summer. He is also taking swimming lessons at the local pool (Abe opted out this year). We are hoping to spend a lot of time at the waterpark close to our house because we are a family who loves the water! We also love parades and are super excited for the Wheaton, Il 4th of July parade, our favorite parade of the year. At the end of July we are heading out to Seattle to visit the West/Paterson clan. We have not been out there in years so that will be an exciting trip. After we spend a few days visiting there, Matt and I are heading to Hawaii for a vacation with my parents. Gavin, Abe and Ella can't wait to get rid of us for a week and spend some quality time with Gramma and Grandpa West. We get back just in time to get ready for the new school year to start August 19th. All in all is sounds like the perfect combination of family, water, sun and parades ! That adds up to one fun summer!
