What I think our family (at least Mom) will miss most about summer:
- letting the boys stay in their pajamas until noon
- watching the boys spend hours swimming at the beach club and the aquatic center with their bright green and blue goggles on, playing with each other and their friends
- my really great tan
- no where to be - no homework, no schedules, no sports practice
- spending time building memories with grandparents, cousins, and friends
- eating ice cream and popsicles just to cool off
I cannot believe how quickly this summer went by. We started the summer with a week of Cub Scout Camp, which is called Twilight Camp because it's from 4 to 8 p.m. It was one of the funnest things we did all summer! Landon is a Wolf; and Blake went to camp, too, as a Papoose, which was an area set up especially for younger siblings of Cub Scouts; and I went as a walking den leader. We built benches, disected owl pellets, built crystal radios; it was a blast! We also had a visit from my mom and dad, which was so wonderful. The boys demanded attention from them constantly. And we had a relaxing trip to Coronado Island and Orange County, California with Jeff's family. We enjoyed the beach and the amazing Southern California weather, and even went to church at Jeff's childhood ward. And of course, we celebrated Jeff turning another year older just a few weeks ago. And in between it all, I managed to get through three more classes toward my degree, which I'm really happy about!
Our family will miss summer. But luckily, it will be back around next year, and we'll be ready to build even more wonderful summertime memories!
