Yay!!!

Summer is FINALLY here!!! Troy and Annie got out of school today and we have the entire summer to ourselves. No rushing to get to bed at night and no rushing to get them out the door on time in the morning. It's going to be nice to just sit back and relax...well, sort of.

We are a naturally busy family with scouts, daycare, piano lessons and callings as well as family stuff going on, so it's not totally relaxing. But, without the confines of getting ready, going to, and coming from school, it makes it less hectic.

Troy has big plans for the summer. He goes to Camp Geronimo the last week of June, gets home on a Saturday, goes camping with the family on the Rim the following Wednesday, gets home on a Saturday and the leaves for Silver-Axe on Mt. Graham on Monday and gets home the following Saturday. He then has one week to relax before starting school again. On his off time, he's working on his remaining merit badges and will hopefully pick his Eagle project soon. He's nervous about all the coming and going, but is excited for these opportunities.

Annie and Taylor are looking forward to watching movies, swimming and playing with their friends. They are both already excited for school to start which Troy thinks is crazy.

Tyson is having a tough time. He loves to be outside, but he doesn't like it when it's hot. Swimming is fun for him, but we can't spend all day every day at the pool, so right now we are having an interesting time keeping him entertained. I'm excited to take him camping and letting him have his run of the mountains.

As for Kevin and I, we are going to hang on and enjoy the ride. :)
