This cannot be AUGUST already?!

OK -- so I'm usually the scoffer when it comes to people lamenting time flying too fast -- but I'm just not ready for it to be August yet!!! The kids start school in less than 21 days!

But we have had a great - full summer... Maybe it's the transition from relaxed casual summer days spent by the Sioux Park pool and wandering through Storybook Island to a mom of a 10 yr old who went away to sleep away Bible camp for 5 days, then a day-camp at STARBASE ....

To steal an idea from a good friend... so i don't forget what fun we HAVE been having... this is how the Morrison's squeeze every drop of summer fun we can....

MAY:
Traveled to Rosholt for Graduation party for Abel (my nephew)
Campout at Devil's tower - Memorial Weekend with great friends

Too cold to swim... tried Reptile Gardens (also too cold?!!)

Yes, the summer has gone by quickly, but it's been fun-filled, so no complaints there! :)
