Lazy Days of Summer

I looked at the calendar today and realized that the kids will be back in school in just 2 weeks! I can't believe how fast this summer has cruised by. For the sake of posterity, and for a non-interesting post, I wanted to record some of the things we have done this summer. (in no particular order)

• Something "water-related" nearly every day. (our pool, other peoples pools, water parks, swim lessons, etc..)
• Vacation Bible School at SS Peter & Paul
• Flag Football Camp (when is wasn't canceled due to the smoke)
• Bowling (to escape the smoke and heat)
• Visit from Aunt Barbara and Uncle "Dim" with lots of spoiling involved
• Playdates, Playdates, Playdates, Playdates and more Playdates!
• Played the Wii (yes, Mom let us play during the week--even for hours at a time!)
• Nightslides at SunSplash (boy there are some interesting looking teenagers out there with body piercings and tattoo's in the oddest places)
• Visit from our friend Marc Holmes
• Visit from Nana and Pop
• Day trip to Lake Wildwood (with Andrew and no shoes and not a store within miles that carried children's shoes)
• Free movies and expensive popcorn at the UA Theater
• Expensive movies and expensive popcorn at the UA Theater
• Baseball in the backyard (the kids have their own version that involves throwing the wiffle ball directly at the player in order to get an out)
• Day trip and sleep over with our cousins Nicholas, Ben and Mia (mean "mommy dearest" wouldn't let the kids stay longer)
• Stayed up late
• Woke up early (grrr)
• Watched too much TV

I am sure I am leaving some things out, but that will due for a walk down memory lane from the Summer of 2008. We will have one more thing to add to the list and will most likely be the highlight of our summer. We are heading up to Lake Tahoe on 8/4-8/8 with my sister and her family and my mom and dad. We are so looking forward to some serious hanging out with the cousins (we love you Nicholas, Mia and Ben!). Having Nana and Pop join us will be fun too.
I 'll be sure to take lots of photos so we can share our fun with you!

School is back in session on 8/11! Woooo-Hooooo!!!
