This summer, we had planned to stick around town, take a few day trips and spend the evenings spending time together as a family at home… but then my husband decided to take a week of holidays. One thing lead to another and we decided to take a family road trip. But only if we could do it for under a certain amount of money. We used a discount travel site to book the hotels, found coupons and 2-for-1 deals for our entertainment and found out which days kids ate free at certain restaurants.
There were SO many moments that I would say were the perfect family moment and couldn’t decide what would be our family favorite, so I asked each one of my family members to look through our pictures and decide which was their favorite moment.
My 8-year old daughter loved going into the American Girl store and posing with a cardboard cut out of the new American Girl Isabelle. She could have spent all week in that store!
My 6-year old son LOVED meeting Kwazii from the Octonaughts!
My husband’s favorite part was walking through the amazing 300 foot ocean tunnel at the aquarium.
And my favorite part is the way the kids have talked and talked and talked about the trip ever since we got back.
What was your favorite summer moment?

One of my favourite summer moments was the Baptism of our youngest Great Grandson this summer. He would stop his 'baby talk' every time the organ started up and listen intently to the music. He was unperturbed by the water flowing over his head. He was his usual smiling self the whole time. As a bonus, we had the most beautiful family singing and playing some special hymns and their singing and music was extraordinary. What a memorable day!

Thank you for such a lovely post! Your son looks like a good hugger and your daughter has good taste because Isabelle is my favourite too!

Looks like you had a nice getaway! Camping would have to be my favourite summer moment! Just sitting around the campfire, spending time unhooked and enjoying the family!
