Summers here and the time is right for....
 

Summer officially starts today for us! Today was the last day of school...and while I'm still trying to convince myself that Bailey really will be in 5th grade next year...(I signed all his classmates beachballs "Good Luck in 4th grade!" Clearly in denial! :rolleyes: ) our summer is wicked busy!

We have a week of baseball left (lovely in 100 plus degree weather~) and then a week of nothing! :D

Kat starts cheer practice, cheer camps and swim lessons. Bailey has football camp and swim lessons plus tumbling to strengthen his arm for football.

At the beginning of July, we're heading back to Texas! :D I'm staying for a week..the kids are staying for 3! Whoo hoo!

Romantic trip to Vegas with hubby for me (instead of weekend of debauchery with the girls at DL! :( ) and then a week at San Diego! Sea World (dining with Shamu, swim with the dolphins), Zoo, Wild Animal Park and the beach!


Then August 1...football starts and it's back to the grind!


So...what are you doing this summer???

The time is right for....

BARBEQUES!!

Camping!!

Concerts!!

I'm hoping I get to wander down to the beaches over the next couple of weeks. Today has been bee-you-tifullll!!!!

How about a romantic weekend of debauchery? Those are always fun.

Congrats on your first day of summer vacation -- woohoo! That means it's time for a Dazed and Confused viewing! :evil:

My summer plans:

~Hawaii for 2 weeks in August -- I'm really looking forward to it. It is just about 3 months away, maybe it could inspire me to get into bikini-wearing condition...:rolleyes: .

~My nephews' swim meets.

~Hanging out (hopefully, not literally) at the pool barbecuing, sipping on margaritas and/or ice cold beers.

~Our county fair; which is still a really nice, clean and old-fashioned affair...ha!

~Relaxing in Tahoe. Just hanging out at the beach, my fave.

~Half Moon Bay, Stinson Beach, Muir Woods, San Francisco.

~Bike rides.

~A weekend up in the wine country for a wedding (although we leave for Hawaii the next day -- that should be interesting).

We are overdue for some bee-you-tiful weather up here in NorCal. We haven't really had a spring. I am soooo ready for summer! :cool:

The kids are out on June 14th! Latest ever in my experience. But it just means they'll end fairly nearish the beginning of June next year, and every year after it'll creep further into June again. Makes for a short summer this year though. :( Bah.

We're doing three weeks of swimming, then I go to Disneyland, come back, they have camp for two weeks (courtney has sleepaway for a week), and the day we pick her up is the weekend of my sister's 3-day wedding reception at McMenamin's Edgefield, and then it's August, which means soccer camp, weekends at the coast, soccer practice, school shopping.......and then school begins the Wed. after Labor Day again!

I'm pooped! :eek: Where did the summer go??? :confused:

Summer is here...it's time for driving with the convertible down.

I've also spent the past week getting ready for summer camps.... and last night we took the teens to the beach for the first bonfire of the year (no swimming for me though....there were sewage runoff warning, ew!) Today I suckered my mom into buying me a backpack for Europe. :D

I take a class for a week every summer, this week it's at the end of June. Then of course I'll be at Disneyland the weekend of the 50th. After that I have two weeks of camps, then Vacation Bible School & then off to Europe for World Youth Day. Then it will be time for classes to begin again and I'll wonder why the hell the summer went so fast, not to mention why the hell I'm so tired!

I think I too shall celebrate by popping in the Dazed and Confused DVD. :D "The great thing about freshmen, is I keep gettin' older, and they stay the same age, man..."

With the "girls" or the hubby? :evil: :evil: :evil:

Time for finding ways to beat the heat.

Today was 109 here in Phoenix, and Saturday and Sunday are looking at 113.

Swimming at grammy's house, swim lessons, weekend trips to Flagstaff, end of June to DL for a week (I always laugh when I hear people in the summer at DL talking about how hot it is!), finding indoor activities for the kids, playing in the sprinklers in the back yard.

I hear ya on the heat! It was 104 at 4:00pm today! Tomorrow is forecast for 110! Sunday 112! Oh joy!

Summer means my fun days of being paid to do hardly anything at work are over :(

But the tourists wear such fun outfits, that the people watching more than makes up for it :D
