This summer is flying by and for that I am sad. I must be crazy because I'm dreading the start of school in a couple of weeks, I'm not ready emotionally.
While I dream of taking the kids on a grand adventure, the fact is we've been working through 100 things to do for the summer.

My focus this year is creating fun family memories. The kids go swimming a few days during the week, we've been playing games like Skipbo, Uno, Life almost nightly and we plan on trying Phase 10 with them sometime this week.



For the first time in years we've gone to see the fireworks at "A" mountain, Rob has smoked racks of ribs for BBQ's and just hanging out with friends.

But still some regret lingers, all those "I wish" moments. Dreams to take the kids to LEGOLAND, San Diego, Yosemite, Oregon, Michigan and Maryland, just to start.
I dream of exploring the world with my family. This world is so amazingly beautiful, even some of the man made stuff is pretty freaking awesome. For now I will dream and plan, who knows where we will go next year?
