Summer went by FAST! We have had such a fun few months here and I am bummed to go into “back to school” mode! At the beginning of the summer, I started my #OperationSummerFun movement… and I haven’t really been too good at following through! I’ve been having so much fun, that I have been seriously slacking on the blog… which is the main reason I haven’t been posting about it.
However, I checked the hashtag the other day and was thrilled to see more than 160 posts on Instagram!! SO AWESOME! I decided to do a picture roundup of just a few of my favorite posts! (starting with my own… obviously! ha!)
My sweeties! |
Cousins are the best! (how cute are my sweet nephews?!) |
Fun fishing |
Family bike ride! (I totally almost crashed after taking this selfie) |
Alana from Parenting from the Heart blog had a ton of cute #OperationSummerFun posts! |
My kids would have LOVED this ship! Check out At Home with the O’Neil’s! |
This picture made me crack up… The caption was, “He’s not gonna believe me the next time I tell him he’ll be ok” Check out Ai’s blog over at Less 2 More! |
Jackson Pollock watch out! |
Here’s another one from Mary… she had a TON of awesome #OperationSummerFun pics on Instagram! Be sure to check out her blog, I need a Playdate! |
I just love Aubrey, who blogs over at 53 Weeks. Aren’t her two boys the cutest?! |
Here’s another one from At Home with the O’Neils and this one was hysterical. You see that is NOT Jeannine’s husband. Since they were doing a canoe trip they all decided the best way to prevent everyone from killing each other was to do a wife swap! She went with her brother-in-law and her hubby went with her sister-in-law.. so NO fighting! Best idea ever! |

Such a fun idea to round up some of the fun summer things people have done. Love this.
Lauren says
Thank you! I love how it turned out and how people took part.. I think I will give it another go next summer!

How did we through summer with no vacation? Well, maybe we can slip in an early fall one? Next summer I need operation summer fun!
Bev Feldman says
I've had so much fun with Eve this summer, it was really nice to take a step back from blogging to focus on her. I totally forgot to use the hashtag on my Instagram posts!
Jeannine O'Neil says
Yay I made it twice! Thanks for sharing Lauren! I too feel like I have been lacking on the blog this summer. I tried to convince myself if I posted more on Instagram it would be like a visual blog and replace my summer laziness. However, that failed too. I was too busy living life this summer. I even have a summer blog post recap, waiting for the final touches.
Great post and it was fun to see how everyone interpreted #OperationSummerFun. I can't wait to attempt this next summer!
As for the Friendship ship in Salem, MA. You should make a family trip to our area in New England. There is so much history and I would love to be your tour guide and we would definitely check out the ship!
