The Peavy Family Blog: The Last Day of Summer

Today was our last true day of summer as D-man starts 1st grade tomorrow (no, I can hardly believe it). I wanted to make sure we had a great day. My plans to go to the water park were spoiled from the beginning as I discovered that the water park was only going to be open on weekends now.

Luckily, I improvised and we headed to McDonald's for breakfast and coffee (yup, I am one of those parents that takes their kids to McDonald's every now and then) and golfing in the afternoon. The golfing was absolutely perfect. We went to the Harvard Gulch Par 3 course. It was spitting rain when we started and it really started to come down more on hole 3. Because of the rain, we had the course to ourselves. After the brief shower, we had no more rain and got to enjoy the course without any worry about other golfers on the course (this is key when you are golfing with a 3 and 6yo).

After golfing, we came home and the boys watched a movie, played some Wii, and then we made pizza for dinner. D-man finished his summer math and reading packets today as well. We topped it off with a trip to Dairy Queen for ice cream (my 6 year old's request for our special outing). And then we had to hurry home because D-man was very conscious about what time he needed to be in bed. I better cherish the days he is running to get to bed early to be ready for school the next day!
