Screen Free Summer 2017

In what might turn out to be the highlight of the summer, we have had a screen free summer.  There are multiple huge TVs here with access to Direct TV BUT we kept that a secret until more recently.  After LOTS of screen time on the way here, we didn't turn on the TVs.  The kids have more scraps and bruises than they have ever have from exploring around the house and riding bikes and scooters.  It's wonderful.  The caveat has been the weekends when after playing outside, we have let them watch some Disney Movies (more for our sanity than theirs).  BUT the great part is that they don't ask for it all week like at home.  I am really hoping to carry this over to home.  Friday night movies here we come!  I think breaking away from some of the routines we had at home, has been really helpful this summer.  Below was an exception.  Matt is holding an episode of Octonauts while Nate grills dinner.
