Soaking Up Summer (Forced Family Fun)

Forced Family Fun: When you know you need to get out and make a memory, but it is way easier to stay at home and run meaningless errands. So you drag your feet and force your butt to the pool, the lake, the trail etc. And during it, it's sort of fun, but sort of a lot of work. And then when it's over, in hindsight, you think, "Well that was fun!".



We've been doing our best to soak up the Texas summer months. I'm a homebody by nature, and I don't prefer dragging around a lot of stuff (and boy do babies need a lot of stuff!), while dripping in sweat, all the while thinking, "Eloise won't even know if she went to the pool/lake/trail...turn around and go home!".  So, it is easy to spend many of our days at home in the cool AC, but forcing myself to get out is always worth it in the end. I've got to remember that more often :).

And who can resist an opportunity to put a baby in a bathing suit? 

or a sunhat for that matter?
