The Swan Song


I am sitting here on the last evening of my summer vacation just wondering just how I got here so quickly. Rewind....

June 18th-I am outta there! Off we go to Traverse City to raft on the Platt River and enjoy life on this first fun weekend of summer!

June 24th-Reno-bound for Larry and Eliza's nuptials. Four blurry-eyed days later we were back exhausted and super glad to be home.

July-Classes for me and camps for Ben. He loved his week of basketball camp! Football camp we learned after the fact, was for beginners to the flag football scene. It was okay, though! He was used a teacher/student mentor to the little people. His fav this year was Heritage Park. He played sports, got wet at the splash park and just plan hung out. He swears he wants to spend all of next summer there! We'll see, Ben! And I passed my 3 classes and now have my 6 credit hours for my recert!

August-Off to Kalahari water park with our buddies. Good laughs, slides and food were a major part of this wonderful weekend. Rock onto the next crazy weekend in August-Nikki and David's wonderful wedding. Our little cutie pie was a Junior Groomsmen and he almost looked too grown up-see picture! Dream cruise followed and we got to observe it way on top of the 555 Building. Very cool!

Plus so many other memories-baseball game where our cousin got whacked in the head while trying to protect her son, Ben's laptop purchase for 6th grade, my learning the game Mah-jhong, movies and so much other stuff! I am exhausted just writing about it.

And then-Boom-Fast forward to tonight. Summer is all but over! Sad-but my pocketbook needs me to be occupied during the daytime. Ben too! It was a fun summer but very costly!
