And if I had the choice, yeah I'd always want to be there...

This summer...
I wonder how many times I've said "c'mon guys! Time to go". And off we've gone to someplace new or fun
I wonder how many times I've applied sunscreen, fixed a scraped knee, or iced a boo boo.
I wonder how many times I've given my attention to "mom watch this" followed by a big jump of some sort into the pool, a made basket, or a newly learned skill on the (training wheel free!) bikes.
I wonder how many times it's occurred to me that Phineas and Ferb are delusional- there most certainly are not 104 days of summer vacation.
And, I wonder how many times it's occurred to me that these are most likely our "good old days."

As it winds down, I'd have to say it's sure been one for the books.

The 4th on a relatives boat 


Loving vacation at Schroon Lake, in New York's beautiful Adirondack mountains.  Also my childhood vacation spot, so extra special! 


The summer of spikes, sunglasses, and sprayed hair


This might be my money shot of the summer.  Taken at Greg's U Pick, Clarence NY following some great blueberry and strawberry picking


Fantasy Island- being 5 minutes from this little amusement park and having season passes has been a fun option this year! 


Crystal Beach, Ontario Canada.  Also a childhood stomping ground- it's fun to see my kids play there like I did  


Tree climbing.  Usually followed by "mom! help"


backyard campfire


teamwork while playground hopping

There definitely aren't 104 days of summer vacation, but every time I hear that song, I wish there were.

PS--is it a sign that I'm getting older that I can no longer read the captchas?
