Summer is officially here (never mind the equinox)

Well, yesterday was the last day of school for the 08-09 school year, so that means our summer has officially started! I can't believe it! Everyone finished on a high note with excellent grades and some honors and awards bestowed upon them. I'm so proud of both of my children. So now they are officially 8th and 6th graders!


Next week is a good week. Both of them will be at summer camp! Brad leaves Sunday afternoon for Boy Scout camp, Blake leaves Monday morning for church camp. Bob is going to help for a couple day sat the scout camp, which is only about 45 minutes away from us. We will go back Thursday for Family Night, spend the night in a tent (as long as it's not raining!), then get up Friday morning and bring Brad home after they break camp. Blake gets home that afternoon. She will be at a Student Life camp at Howard Payne University in Brownwood, Texas. Still having trouble finding Extra-Long Twin sheets, so she may have to bring her sleeping bag! Most stores do not carry XL Twin sheets until "back to school" time.


We are also planning to get to San Antonio and points nearby to see The Alamo (now that both kids have had Texas history) and hit Schlitterbahn, a cool water park in nearby New Braunfels, TX. And we may see if we can squeeze in a last-minute cruise. It will be short notice, if so.


Other than that, we've got cousins coming for a week or so visit, and plan to do some day trips during the summer break. It's not blistering hot yet, so I really like being outside!
