Summer Reading

Love it when the kids get so into reading they can't put the book down, spend summer afternoons lounging on the couch and stay up too late. That was how my girl spent much of her summer.

Kayak Tour


Before summer even got here (well, did it it every really get here?) I purchased a Groupon for a kayak tour around Ross Island. I kind of let the summer fly by without booking the tour, but lucky for me they honored my coupon after it expired. We picked the most beautiful Saturday afternoon we've had in a long time. As soon as we arrived at the dock the clouds disappeared and we were showered with sunshine the entire afternoon. It was warm and beautiful and we had a wonderful time. My shoulders were aching the next day, but I'm ready to go again. Emilia thought the whole thing was boring, so we won't be bringing her again. Teenagers!

Yes, I was at the back of the pack the entire trip!
