Start of Summer

I guess that you could say that last week was our official start of summer around our household.

It was Memorial Day, Micah is done with preschool, the kids have had their swimsuits on, the loads of laundry are smaller because the clothes are smaller, we are talking about getting the wading pool out, we are cleaning my parent's old camper, Nick played his first softball game of the season, etc, etc.... Lots of little things that indicate to me that summer is here.

It is so nice to have things a little more relaxed and out of the ordinary for a few months. Our summer contains some exciting events as Nick and I plan on going to Cedar Rapids for a 3-day work time with a group from church, we have a week-long camping trip planned (locally), a weekend camping trip (if the first one goes well), a trip to the Boone & Scenic Valley Railroad along with all the unexpected fun that comes with the summer time.

There are a few things that always seem to remind you that life isn't all fun and games during the summer time. Nick has been a little bogged down at work as he is working on an extremely long spreadsheet and I have some situations at work that I wish could just disappear (probably not happening any time soon). Becca has also taken a strong dislike to bugs (should be interesting during camping) and we are trying to get her potty trained (she can be pretty stubborn.)

All in all summer looks to be lots of fun and hopefully relaxing! Hope your summer is looking good as well!


I will leave you with a picture of Micah enjoying his Memorial Day with a yummy and rather large bowl of grapes! LOL!
