lazy days of summer?

Isn't summer supposed to be a time to relax?

Seems like there is just too much going on these days. The last few weeks of school for the kids are always really busy (no exception this year). Annie has a field trip this week. Gray has a field trip next week. Gray also has another dentist appointment next week. The following week (their last week of school), they will both have their field days. And Gray's class is hosting an author's tea (where they will be reading their works to all who attend the tea). Monday and Wednesday nights are filled with Gray's soccer games, while Tuesday and Thursday nights are filled with Annie's soccer games.

We are hoping to maybe take a mini-vacation that weekend after school's out. Thinking of heading to Ithaca, NY. It's filled with so many neat places to go...something for each of us. Who'd a thunk it...Ithaca, NY?

Then, the following weekend is my family reunion. And Rich's parents want us to come there for the 4th. Geez...I'm exhausted just thinking of it all. (But after that, maybe we'll have a few weeks of relative calm. Aside from soccer and animation camp and flute lessons, that is.)
