#1- Ice Cream for Dinner

   Zoe has been looking forward to marking this off the list since we created the list! I wanted real homemade ice cream so we went to Strawberry Hill USA. It is a farm just up the road from us. As you can tell from the name they grown strawberries but they also have peaches and other fruits. They also have a café and ice cream parlor.  We all picked our favorite flavor and sat outside in the rocking chairs enjoying our “dinner”. We picked up some peaches while we were there and the family has almost eaten the whole bag!

Non-Summer Fun

 

  I try to schedule all of the kids yearly doctors appointments in the summer. Of course they are not very happy about it but it just works better for us. This morning we had to go get the boys blood levels checked. Both of my boys have a factor IX deficiency. It is a form of Hemophilia but not life threating like in some cases. They mainly can bleed around the joints and are at more risk for a brain bleed. But since you can’t see when they are bleeding it does make it dangerous.The only time they have ever needed any factor was doing a surgery. So now we wait to see the doctor on Thursday to see if anything has changed. It probably will still be the same which is good and we won’t have to do this for another year. Now we can check one more thing off of our summer to do list.

 

#17- Discover a New Park

  While we were in Greenville on Saturday for the Farmer’s Market, we decided to look for a new park. It is one of the things on our summer bucket list and we always like discovering new places. We used Google to find a park close by and Herdklotz Park popped up. It was only a few miles away so we went to check it out. The park was very nice and has 2 separate areas divided by age groups. There were also soccer, and football fields. If you are looking for a new park I recommend you check this one out.

 

 

 

 

 

#4- Krispy Kreme Doughnuts for Breakfast…..

     and we ended up having them for dinner. Yea, no judging please. I mean can you really pass up FREE doughnuts? Especially when the “Hot and Now” sign is lit up? I think not! It was National Doughnut Day and we try our best to celebrate all holidays. Plus Zoe took her report card because KK gives 1 free doughnut for each A that you get. Pretty neat huh?

   Just looking at these doughnuts will make you fat but they are SO good! Of course we had to have milk to be able to get the crème filled ones down. Surely there are some type of nutrients in them,right? Oh well, everyone enjoyed their “dinner” and that is all that matters.
