1. In the midst of the lazy summer days when there isn't much to do, imagination and creativity are powerful tools...The Lily & Shelly Show was created!
2. Gaining a new family pet can be rewarding (soft purring snuggles) and a bit challenging (scratches and kitten bites = ouch!).
3. Being with your cousin for a really important part of her upcoming new life is exciting and so fun.
4. Rainy days are made for fusion beads and lots of artistic talents.
5. Frozen yogurt stops are the best!!!!!!!!!
6. Glow stick necklaces in the pool at night are awesome.
7. S'mores in the oven are good, but not as tasty as they are over an open fire.
8. Attending one baseball game a season is just right for our foursome.
9. Accomplishing a goal that you've set for yourself feels great (Lily's babysitter course).
10. Shopping is a great past time; even when nothing is purchased.
11. Taking a risk and jumping in the deep end (of the pool) can feel so good!!!!
12. Pedicures make a plain day feel fancy!
13. Having good friends who you can count on is rare and special.
14. There is nothing quite like looking out into the ocean while digging your toes deeper into the sand all while feeling the sun beaming on your face.
15. Learning to bake a treat is satisfying and tasty.
It has been an interesting summer for us. We are normally pretty busy with trips and activities. This summer not so much. At times I was loving our very relaxed pace but other times I felt a bit antsy and wished I had made more plans for our family. Overall, the time off has been good albeit short. The girls finished school on the 10th of June and will head back on the 15th of August...so short this summer. But, next summer we are hopeful that they will get out before Memorial Day (as long as that nasty white stuff stays away over the winter and doesn't close the school doors)! So, here's to a happy summer where free time filled most of our days and let's face it, that's always a good thing.
