Bring on summer!

I thought once school ended that things would start to slow down a little bit for our family - boy was I wrong! The girls are both playing t-ball this summer (on the same team thankfully) so we've been running back and forth to practice twice a week and games haven't even started yet! VBS is next week, church camp is the following week, and then we have a much-anticipated break for a few weeks before we start getting things ready for the county fair. We'll have to add swimming lessons in there sometime too but I haven't heard when they're being offered locally yet.

We're planning our annual family vacation for sometime in August, depending on when school starts. That calendar is still being debated so we're biding our time waiting for the district to make a decision. I think we've decided to go to Colorado Springs for our vacation time. We've done Oklahoma and Texas in the past few years and after Paul went to a work retreat in CO Springs he decided that it would be a neat place to go back and visit as a family. I haven't researched the area much, but I have heard that it has a fantastic zoo, beautiful scenery, and some good shopping. Sounds perfect to me! :) I always look forward to our vacation time, as it's the longest amount of time we get to spend together during the year uninterrupted by anything else. It's so nice to just spend the time being a family without juggling a million other things during the day.
