How to do everything in 3 months

Have 4-year-old daughter complete pre-kindergarten. Check.

Cheer on Joey as he finished his first half marathon and gratefully say goodbye to his 3-hour Saturday morning training runs.

Hit up a water park and make sure children don’t drown. Check. Both kids loved it, but this isn’t Crosby’s year for the water. Addy fearlessly zipped down slides 10 times bigger than those seen here.

Attempt to enjoy a 3-night family camping trip that came complete with ginormous raccoons and hardly any sleeping. Make it an annual tradition. Check.

Off to the family cabin to cram 6 adults and 4 kids, ages 4 and under, into a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom house. Opt to borrow a pop up camper for my brood instead and have a blast. Check.

Strawberries and insane amounts of strawberry jam. Check. (I did not take the awesome photos. I took the kinda crappy ones.)

And there has been so much more. It’s been an awesome, bursting-with-fun kind of summer so far.  So glad it’s not over yet!
