Last summer we started a "family night". We picked it up again this summer and it is now our summer tradition. It has been something to look forward every week. Our activities vary (but often include ice cream!) and we try to do something that we all can enjoy - hence the ice cream. :-) A few of our favorite things to do have been: Ivanhoe's, Family game night at home and shopping at Lowe's and each one picking out a plant for the yard.
Emma planned tonight's activities. We went to Meijer and got ice cream cones first. Then the plan was to go to Tractor Supply to look at horse tack - remember, Emma planned the night! She was disappointed when we got to Tractor Supply and found that it had just closed. So we ended up at K-Mart and the girls were excited to find horse t-shirts in their favorite colors (aqua for Emma and pink for Anna).
I hope we continue this tradition and that as the girls get older, they will still enjoy it. For now, I will cherish them being young and still wanting to hang out as a family. :-)

Great plan!!! We used to do this on Friday nights when I was growing up - - - until we got into HS and wanted to be going to fb or bb games on Friday night!
