This summer as in years past I have had the immeasurable joy of taking care of my kids while Melissa works. We had many days filled with fun, playing and mostly staying inside. This summer was brutal on the weather front, but we still managed to squeeze in our zoo trips.
I think the best part might have been sleeping until 8:30 with my little guy who managed to sneak into our bed in the middle of the night.
Unfortunately the weather was so uncooperative that about all we could manage was to get outside around 8:30 and play for maybe an hour. By then it would begin to boil outside and we would retreat to the air-conditioning. This was when I became very thankful for Netflix.
There were many times when it was awesome To sit and watch my kiddos playing, but a split second later they were fighting. I was instantly transported back to my own childhood.
We did have one last blast of summer, in a three day stretch we went to the park, the zoo and splash pad, and finally the movies to catch Kung Fu Panda 2! It was yet another great summer as the stay home Dad. I am thankful for the time and opportunity to be with my babies.
