Catch Up

There's this lull that is occurring.  A calm before the storm, so to speak.  As we finished up the school year, which I still have a ton to write about so we always remember, I was struck by the absurdity of planning a vacation a mere day after the kids were out of school.  It felt crazy to leave after a week of mere craziness and festivities.  Truth be told, it was!  As relaxing as the beach eventually grew to be, the prep felt haphazard, unorganized, and messy.  Those are not great working conditions for me, so it was a struggle to let go and let loose.  But when I did?  What a great week with another family we love.  How awesome were the kids laughing, and playing games, and frolicking in freezing cold water!  It was a vacation to remember.  Actually this will be a summer to remember.  More details to follow, but first I have to catch up.
