Ahhh.. Summer Break.. or is it?

Summer officially started on June 1st this year for us. We have never been out this early before, which makes a month and half break for the twins instead of 3 weeks (because of year round school). And then its going to be 3 month break for Patrick because he starts Junior High this year... With our start to summer the first couple of days are just sleeping in and relaxing. I then got the call that my dad was going to go on a week and half fishing trip and my mom didn't want to stay home alone that long and wanted to come stay with us. Totally fine with it, but it was going to be a little busy. So, she came up Thursday and I was getting everyone ready for our first round of things to come with only being out of school a week. The first Saturday the twins had there first Cub Scout Day Camp.. so bright and early we were up (5:45 am) to get them off. Then back to bed for a half hour and then it was Joe and Patrick's turn to get up and go to there Scout Day Camp starting at 8 am. As all this happened me and my mom took advantage of the guys being gone all day and we went shopping and some lunch! All in all it was a busy day, everyone had fun at there events and we were all tired by the end of it..

The following week proved to be busy with playtimes, my dad coming through town to his next fishing adventure, preparing for Father's Day, preparing Joe and Patrick to do there 2nd Scout outing an overnight camp out and also packing and getting ready for me and the boys to go to Southern Utah for the next week. So, to say the least not much of a summer break yet... and I don't think from now on there will be. As your kids get older its just busier and busier. But, I am doing my best to enjoy it now, because one of these days they will have their own lives and we won't be sharing these moments as much.
