The End of Summer

All in all I think it was a good summer. I learned some things (that I probably should have known by now) and I think the kids had a good time overall.

As a recap, after 2 days of August Mini Camp for the girls, they all did 2 weeks of 9-12pm APCP summer school which they all really enjoyed but was probably not necessary.

Then Parker did his week at Camp August while we went to Santa Cruz to stay on the beach. (Also probably unnecessary.  Santa Cruz...not the camp.)

Then Parker had skateboard camp while Miranda had Theatre Camp while Elizabeth had a gymnastics clinic. Parker loved skateboarding and wants to do it again next summerand Miranda definitely has the theatre bug.

Then Parker did Chess Camp while Miranda continued her Theatre camp.

Then a day of fun at the water park with some kids and we were off on our road trip. 4 states (yes, we were in Arizona for a tiny bit!), over 2400 miles and lots of sunscreen. Overall a very good trip but could have used more days at Zion and spent less money in Vegas.

Back in time for Elizabeth's team camp and a visit with Julia and Oliver where much minecraft was played.

Then I did a quick trip with the kids to KOA which had too many wasps.

Today, tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday we are just going to hang out. Maybe hit one last water park or not. We'll see.

I'm looking forward to getting a regular routine back, pushing up bedtimes, stopping the daily ice cream treats and going back to the gym.  But...a good summer nonetheless.
