Summer Is Coming

And that means playing outside!  Thank goodness, my litte girl has been watching a little too much TV lately and I'm extremely happy to have her outside on her tricycle.  Until she tires me out of course.

Summer in my family also means parties.  I'm sure it does in yours too: a fourth of July BBQ, memorial day cookout and maybe if you're ambitious perhaps a last trip to the beach on Labor Day.  Well good job, but you've got nothing on me.

You see my wife's side of the family has, statistically, 3424014756 members and all of them have a birthday party this weekend.  The good news is that the parties are always a good time* but the bad news is this keeps us extremely busy over the summer months.  Fortunately this gives a few ways to practice, that I think I'll get started with today.

For instance today my parents are coming over with my nephews and niece for a cookout.   This means there is a non-zero chance my in-laws will come too, and if they come over I'll probably end up with a brother-in-law or two as well.  Since I'm cooking today I'll have Leili (and me) practice a few words that we may not know:

soleado: sunny
tener color: to be hot
hamburguesa: hamburger
hacer color afuera: to be hot outside
el verano: summer
el helado: ice cream

Okay she probably knows that one.  I've got comments on the blog, what words would you want your children to learn for the summer party season?

* "Hey we've got some beer left over from Quinn's 1st birthday party." - an actual thing I've said.
