How I spent my summer vacation

Now to catch you up on all the stuff we did this summer...
we never did take a family vacation this year but we managed to spend some time together.

At the beginning of the summer we looked at our calendar and discovered that we did not have one single weekend that someone wasn't busy, no time for a family vacation! What we did do is... Between our four sons age 6 to 15 we had 10 assorted overnight week long summer camps, scout camps, etc. (Camp Hobe: for kids with cancer and their siblings, was their favorite) a church family overnight camp out, week-long pioneer trek for the 3 oldest family members, Ducky Derby: fundraiser for Make-a-Wish, Ride for Kids: Pediatric brain tumor foundation fundraiser, A golf tourniment fundraiser for Primary Childrens Medical Center, a family reunion, our 25 year high school reunion that we were in charge of, My brothers wedding, I somehow got put in charge of the reception. Our flooded basement we have completely redone, and assorted summer school, swimming lessons, Dr. appointments, MRIs etc. The kids have been back in school for a month and I still feel tired.
