Well, another fun summer is now in the record books. On Wednesday, school begins again, and the lazy, hazy, exciting days of summer will be a distant memory. This was an eventful summer for our family! Here are the highlights:1. Mary Beth attending Midway basketball camp.
2. The kids going to Conroe for the week to attend their grandparents' church's VBS.
3. Driving 2,000 miles to Cape Cod with just mom.
4. All three attending sailing lessons, and Matthew competing in a regatta with his friend, Matt.
5. Walking the Freedom Trail in Boston on 4th of July weekend.
6. A wonderful visit with our family in New England.
7. Matthew and Bryon deep sea fishing.
8. Driving 2,000 miles in less than 2 days home.
9. Getting greeted at home by a furnace. 2011 will go down in the record books as the hottest (driest) summer in the history of record keeping. So far, 70 days of 100 degree heat this summer.
10. The boys starting football for the first time.
11. Mary Beth learning to ride her bike...
12. Then subsequently fracturing her radius bone when Thomas collided with her on her bike.
13. The boys attending Kanakuk camp for 2 weeks.
14. Bryon and I celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary in San Antonio.
15. My 36th and Mary Beth's 7th birthdays.
16. Swimming in Aunt Lauren's new pool.
17. Mary Beth getting to spend the week with Aunt Jilinda, Uncle Michael, and Lydia while the boys were at camp and Mom and Dad were in San Antonio.
18. Matthew taking full responsibility of the lawn. He has also mowed several friends and neighbors yards.
19. Thomas playing piano in the Texas Music Teachers Association ensemble in Arlington.
20. Putting 9,000 miles on our car with lots of trips to fun destinations!
Yes, it was a great summer! While I'm always so ready to be back on a routine, I love the slow paced, nowhere to be at night, sleeping in, staying up late of the summer!
