Summer Vacation.

Two days into Summer Vacation.
CJ is gallivanting on far off adventures, we're hanging out closer to home. 
Think she's having a good time?

We celebrated the first day of Summer yesterday by going to the beach.
It poured the whole tie we were there. 
We figured we were wet already from swimming, so we stayed and played tin the sand.  We were there with two other families from Walkersville and we *ruled* the beach. 
It was too wet even to take out the camera for pictures.
The ride home was sandy and wet.  I can't tell you how much wet, sandy laundry I have done.
But it was worth it.  :)

Today we went into Frederick City and wandered.  We happened into the library right at the  beginning of Lego Hour.  They put a huge sheet on the ground, dumped 50 pounds of Legos, 50 pounds of Duplos and let the kids have at it. 
Little Boy Heaven. 
We missed naps, so everyone is pretty fried now.  We're cuddling in front of "Over the Hedge" now. 
Um...yeah.  A real over-achieving mother.  Oy vey.

The goal for this summer is to read out loud every day. 
I remember how much we used to read to Sam and CJ and can't help but think we're selling the Youngers short because they just don't get that quality time.  They got other good time, but we're falling short on the reading.       
It will get better.
