Summer So Far

As I type this post, I am exhausted. Really exhausted. Which is a good thing, I guess. We have played hard, been swimming a lot, and traveled many miles (Mark and B). In the first two and a half weeks of summer, we have been busy. I love being busy and having things to do, places to go, laughter from my children to hear and smiles to see. But, I think the body needs rest too. This weekend will bring much needed rest for the family. I am sure the smells of chlorine will fill my nose at some point, but not at the extent that it has this past week. I hope that we all sleep until noon, stay in our pjs most of the day, and eat pancakes at 12:30 for brunch on Saturday. With my early risers (no matter how tired they are, nor how late they go to bed) this will most likely not be the case. Below is a summary (in photos) of what we have done so far this summer. It has been great fun so far. We have spent some wonderful time with such great friends!
