Summer looks like ...

Summer looks like a hike at the Grand Canyon.

Summer looks lots of trips to the pool.

Summer looks like fireworks with friends.

Summer looks like tackling home projects like redecorating Shelby's room (more to come on this).

Summer has been full and fun this year. Because of my surgeries in May, I've been home all summer, which hasn't happened in years. Shelby went to two fun camps (Girl Scout camp and DJ camp) and Cooper has had a lot of mama time (so good since he starts kindergarten in August). We're less than a month away from school starting again, so we're trying to savor the last bits of summer. Yesterday we sat on the back porch while Mike grilled our dinner. The kids played with the hose and made a big, huge muddy mess. I had my favorite summer drink (hard cider). And we capped it off with a bike ride around our neighborhood. I love summer.

I head out next week for my first work trip in a little more than two months (yikes). The kids are going to sports/swim camp, which they're super excited about.

What have you been up to? What does your summer look like?
