And Let the Summer Begin....

The dog days are upon us, and I am so excited for this summer. Last summer was tough, moving across country, getting settled in and all the house problems we barely had time to enjoy the calm that summer can bring. This year I plan on enjoying it to the max with the kids. We had last soccer games, lots of fishing already, karate and we have even ventured to the pool once. Tristan is off on his wonderful 10 day Lewis & Clark trip and has driven a truck and a tractor, ridden horses, eaten in spaceship restaurants, and watched calves get castrated (that last one he was not as excited about!). The weather has turned warm and the kids are into their water balloons, chalk and enjoying not having to get up for school. Secretly I am too, I love not having an agenda each day and being able to go do what we want. So bring on summer, the grill, firepits and smores and the pool!
