Lots of fun, family, and new experiences. We also had a family health scare that ended with the best possible outcome. All that being said, what are some of your tips for preserving the memories we made. Even as I am writing this, I am realizing I should probably journal some where about our summer…

@MurdocksMama – breakfast on the boat sounds fantastic!

@Laura Now that our kids are older, my husband and I have started going to our local farmers market together on Saturday mornings. He used to go with a kid or two and I would stay home. Now we leave all the kids home and stroll the market together at an adult pace. We often run into friends and chat. Some of the vendors who know our kids will ask how they are and marvel over how big they must be getting. It’s really a lovely way to spend a Saturday morning.

@Gillian – fireflies! Yes, those are always summer for me. Also the honeysuckle is out and I keep breathing it in (though not in our yard since my husband is on a kick against vines so they are mostly gone…). Tomatoes aren’t really my favorite food BUT I do like them in summer fresh off the vine. Maybe I’ll get them from the farmers market…

@Ruth – yep, I’m sure we’ll wind up somewhere real, I just have to figure out where…He’s already camping with Dad for a Boy Scout trip so I have to figure out if this counts extra!

Summer doesn’t really start for us until my kids get out of school in 4 (!) weeks.

My thoughts so far:

Enjoy my mother daughter trip to Mass. (Me and my mom)
Go to Storm King Art Center
Hike the Dover Church trail
Read in my backyard chaise lounge
Walk into town for ice cream
Swim in the ocean
Sit on the front porch and watch fireflies
Get the 6 yo really riding a bicycle
Use my hydrangeas from the yard to brighten the house
Eat ALL the tomatoes

You’ll just have to stick it up and make your peace with it – LOL!
