In late spring and early summer we shared our plans and likes and dislikes for summer plans.
Please share with the rest of the table what you did on your summer vacation.
Blueberry picking!!!!!!!!!! YUMMY!!!!!
Pronoun problem????? ;0)
congrats to you both :)
One month ago.
Wife, four children ages 2-16 and younger brother visited friends and kinfolks in Ocean Springs/Biloxi and Eastern Shore, Alabama for a couple of days
and then rented a house at Seagrove Florida for one week and then to Jacksonville to visit more kinfolks
In a rented mini-van.
Been a ritual for years now.
Also made two short trips to family getaway at Grandfather Mt North Carolina.
Sounds like a wonderful family ritual.
Dare I ask how your friends and kinfolk fared thrugh Katrina?
I live at the beach, in Key Largo, so I spent my summer vacation digging roots out from our septic tank and replacing our drain field by hand (while we were using it). I’m told in this area, that’s at least a $6k job if I had to pull permits and contract it all out.
It look 20 "summer vacation days", but I got in my best shape in 6 years. (I didn’t smell in my best shape in 6 years though.)
We took the boys fishing for the first time, which was fun. We mostly did usual stuff: Fireworks on the 4th, hit a lot of the local parks, went for drives out in the country, played in the pool in the backyard. One night we stayed out past dark and caught fireflies; another night, we had a "sleepover" for the boys, let them stay up late watching movies and eating popcorn, then slept in sleeping bags on the floor. One Saturday afternoon we were incredibly bored so we hit the road for an uber-spontaneous trip to Niagara Falls. Not a spectacular summer, but a lot of fun was had by all.
Congratulations! I can honestly say, after 14 years of marriage, it is wonderful.
We took our kids fishing for the first time also. They loved it!!!
We had a good summer. Lots of fun activities, and no homework!
I made 3 quilts.
Shape matters more than than smell :)
Good for you!
The pool went up and was filled the day AFTER my surgery.........
WOW
I don't know what else to say.
