I remember summer time as a kid being long and full of days that had no planned activity. I remember a week long game of Monopoly and begging Mom to let me spend (another) night over at a friend's house.
Maybe summer feels different as a mom with school-aged kids because this summer has flown by! It feels like we have had more activity than during the school year! We have packed this last summer FULL of fun and excitement but hardly one moment I would call boring.
But as we near the end of summer, I feel the toll this pace has had on me and the kids. (I won't speak for Eric on this!) Baby Ranen has had to keep up with all of us and her only advantage and coping mechanism is the ability to fall asleep anywhere.
Once school starts, I know I will miss the car trips, museums, and family game nights. The pool and movies, the bowling and friends. We have had so many wonderful memories this last summer that I will hold close all my days! Thanks for being a part of this journey with us!
