I'm half way there . . . almost!

Now that the long 4th of July weekend is behind me (which was VERY relaxing I might add), it's time to look forward to the rest of the summer. July is usually the busiest time for us since that's when we have the bulk of our camp/vacation time going on.

This is my last free week until the first week in August!

During this week I need to prepare for 2 (okay, 3) major things going on, Girl Scout/Boy Scout camp and then VACATION! Thankfully GS/BS camp are going on during the same week so at least that's taking care of two birds with one stone (more on that later), but then 4 days later we leave for Wisconsin for 10 days.

YIPEE!!!!

I am SO looking forward to going away this year. Last year we were there for 2 1/2 weeks, and although I loved being back there, it's just too long for me to be away from home. 10 days is perfect! Most of that time is spent at a lake in the Northern part of the state, and then the rest with family in Madison.

The most exciting part is, my Grandpa's turning 90 and we're having a big party for him!

Things should be great . . . as long as we don't get stranded (or almost stranded) in Milwaukee on the way home.

Last year we had 6 hour delay in O'Hare and didn't leave for CA until after 1 in the morning. Unfortunately, Kids #1 & 2 were completely wired, but luckily Kid #3 was out like a light from 10PM until we got home, and I got 1/3 of the way through Harry Potter #7 (that I had started reading earlier that day after a day trip to visit Notre Dame University in South Bend, IN).

So this should be an interesting week . . .
