We said hello to summer with some Father's Day golf.
Gifts for Dad. Lunch with Grandparents.
And another attempt at furniture shopping, which somehow led us to Legoland and Bass Pro Shops. When your kids ask to go furniture shopping with you, say no.
The high school kids wrapped up their final exams today. Two more days of elementary school left, and a high school graduation ceremony on Thursday. Then they'll have more than two months to go before they're back to school.
After feeling guilt and disappointment over last summer's lack of activity, I've put together a bucket list for the next couple of months. Summer holidays are all about taking a break and relaxing, I get that, but I want to do a better job of planning family outings, while accepting that not ALL of the kids will be able to join us ALL of the time... something I still struggle with, and one of the many tough things about watching your kids grow up.
Almost everything on the list can be done in a day or over a weekend, and is within a couple of hours driving time.
Striving for more, but lowering my expectations. Hopefully a recipe for memorable summer.
