our vacation

Our summer so far

We've had an extremely busy summer so far and I can hardly believe that it's almost over. School for us, starts on August 27th. But here's what we've been up to.......

Matthew played t-ball, Lauren had her dance recital. Soon after that wrapped up Lauren and I headed to Boston for a 4 day Dance Olympus, (workshops and competition)

Lauren had 2 weeks of Girl Scout camp. Matthew is attending a day camp with his friend this week.

We went to Virginia for our family vacation. We stayed in Williamsburg. Went to Bush Gardens, the kids loved it. We ended up going back there 3 different days. (we had bought these awesome passes that included all our activities and unlimited admission). Went to Water Country, Colonial Williamsburg. Me and the girls went on a ghost tour in Colonial Williamsburg.

I flew down to Florida with Lauren; had a very nice visit with my parents and my brother (I haven't seen my brother in a year - since he moved - so it was really great to see him)

I flew home by myself. Left Lauren there for 3 weeks and she'll be returning on August 25th. I miss her so much but, she calls several times a day so that's great. When she returns she'll have 2 days to rest before school starts.

That's the summer in a nutshell. Matthew and I had a date today and went to lunch and to buy him school clothes and a new lunch box.

We're gearing up for a busy fall with the start of school and all of the activities it brings. I can't believe my baby boy will be in all day "K" this year. It's going to be the only year he gets to go to school with his sister so this will be a very special year.

I've put our vacation pictures in video form and hope to find some more time for blogging!
