What I Did on My Summer Vacation

Since it's been quite a while since I have blogged, (and I know the 3 or 4 people that follow this have missed me so much!) I decided that like in school, I would fill you in on "What I did this Summer". Here's the recap:

I did spend a fair amount of time in the car, driving Emma to art class, tennis lessons, vacation Bible school and Girl Scout camp. She also went to a dance workshop in Des Moines and to dance Nationals at Kalahari in Wisconsin. Aiden got the short end of the stick for sure, stuck in his car seat while we drove his sister everywhere! We did have some fun down time, swimming, visiting the zoo and playing at the park. This summer seemed to be the hottest one I remember!

I got a new job (I know, like I needed one more thing to do!) as a local high school dance team coach. I spent 4 days in a college dorm with 13 high school students. Let's just say it's been a few years since I've slept in a dorm bed, but thanks to some very fun people it was actually a pretty good time!

I did a lot of dance choreography and I fractured my ankle in a small accident - which was really frustrating since I have not ever been really injured in more than 20 years of teaching dance. Fortunately it has healed and is causing me no trouble.

We also celebrated Aiden's 3rd birthday, first day of preschool (that is a whole different post!) and Emma's first day of third grade! The summer absolutely flew by!

As I write this, we are four days away from a much needed family vacation. We leave for Orlando on Saturday! I'll say Hi to Mickey for you!
