Summer is supposed to be a restful time, when I get to lay back and read to my heart's desire. And relax on a hammock. And drink lemonade. But we have been so busy.
It is moving season in our military neighborhood. We have been pet sitting, and babysitting for neighbors as they get ready to leave. We have also been playing with them as much as possible before the movers come. Several close friends are leaving in the next couple of weeks and it is really sad. Hannah's 2 neighborhood pals are moving far away.
All this playing has made my house fall apart. There are barbies in the choo-choo train box, and library books lost behind the couch. The various puzzles and building sets are making it impossible to vacuum.
The weather has been beautiful, and that is another reason we have been so busy. It is just too nice to be inside. We have been playing tennis, and rollerblading, and slip-and-sliding, and bike riding, and blowing bubbles, biking backward....
On Monday night, we walked all the way to the ice cream store with our neighbors for our Family Home Evening treat. We were like a little parade - 3 bikes, 3 jogger strollers, 8 adults, 9 kids, no dogs.
Ice cream, swim suits, otter pops, mosquito spray, family reunion, camping. These are the things our summer is made of. That's what we've been doing. Nothing much to blog about, but a lot of fun!

It sounds so good and bad. And then you all get new friends and neighbors? I hope you enjoy the new, as much as the old.
Do you get to stay in Rapid City then? I feel sorry for your little one's loss of playmates - it's so hard on them. :( I'm glad though that you're enjoying a pleasent summer in spite of all the changes.
Your summer activities sound so fun and I'm glad you've got nice weather. I bet you don't miss the humidity we get to enjoy. Lindsey and I just got back from the pool - nothing says summer like the smell of sunblock and chlorine. Sorry to Han for friends moving away! Hopefully a new and even funner (not a real word?) set will move in.
