Summer time is such a fun times for most people. I know we are always looking forward to summer because the fun-possibilities is endless. My kids love it because aside from them having a break from school, they also get to do things with us outdoors. We get to visit places sometimes and do simple things but fun for all of us.
During their summer break this year, we were able to visit Hershey Park and the kids had so much fun out there. We don't let our kids just sit in front of the TV or play computer games but we encourage them to go out and play. We play with them, we did some long walks (9 miles was the farthest we've walked).
They helped around the house, in the garden, and even took a small summer job for our our neighbor taking care of their dogs when they are at work. This is such a big learning experience for them that taught them responsibility and the joy of earning a little bit from doing the things that they love.
These dogs are their furry friends whom they look forward of seeing every time they get the chance to. They served as their extended family. I thank our neighbor for this opportunity that taught them a valuable lesson. They might not realized the lesson they have learned but I am so glad that they are doing great.
As parents, it makes my husband and I realized that we are raising good responsible kids. I hope that their sense of responsibility will continue on.
They don't even care about the money they get from this "job" because they said that they would do it for free but our neighbor insisted to pay them.
Their dogs are the best because they are so gentle with kids. It seems like they have known our kids ever since they were pups.
Kyra and Mandy are just two of our neighbors four dogs. It is not actually our neighbors but her kids pets. Whenever they are going somewhere, they ask their Moms to take care of them but since their Mom is always at work, she asked our kids to look after them.
Their furry friends are such a blessing for my kids. They love dogs and they even gave up our vacation just to keep our dogs when we were not able to find a place for them.
I am truly thankful to our neighbor, to their dogs, and to our kids who keep me and my husband inspired to continue raising our kids the way we are raising them.
They actually miss seeing them. They wish that they would see them everyday and that makes me very happy.
I joke at them one time that we should just put our dogs for adoption so that we can go anywhere whenever we want to but they beg us not to.
They always have fun when feeding Mandy because she doesn't stand up when eating. She lays on the floor and eat.
Kira is such a sweetheart, she love being hugged, rubbed, and play with.
Taking care of the dogs are just some of the fun times that they did this summer. It's one of the things they will always remember.
