Summer comes to a close






We have had the greatest summer. It's gone by so FAST!! Since we are on a year-round school schedule here we only get 6 weeks of summer and we really pack it in. It started with 4th of July weekend and ended with a great week with my sister, her 3 kids and my mom coming for a visit from Texas. In between we had an 11 day RV trip to Oregon, swim lessons, Fathers and sons campout, sleepovers, more swimming and a visit from Gregg's family. As great as it was for them to be here, they unfortunetly came for the funeral of Gregg's sweet grandpa. We were grateful that they could all make it though. So as I frantically try to get our house and kids ready to get back on a schedule, I'd first like to remember all the wonderful things about summer. We will miss the swimming, popsicles, bike riding, scooters, hikes, vacations, visitors, sleeping in, slip and sliding, friends playing all day, sunshine, the sound of crickets at night, catching lizards, barbeques and just the great LAZY DAYS OF SUMMER!!!

I love those little kiddies and their mom and dad. Dad's family commune idea is sounding better and better all the time.
