I am super excited to enter into the summer months... one because of the crazy winter/spring that we recentely had, and two because I am on vacation. I only get one month off but my vacation began with a conference at Seaside, Oregon with Byron and Ty tagging along. We had incredible weather that is rare for the Oregon Coast. We were greeted with summer like warm weather, little to no wind, and minor sprinkles in the morning. I was able to work and play in the evenings with my boys.
One day of work later and then officially summer break started! I only have two weeks of time to spend with Ty prior to our family departure to Kaua'i. During this time we have play dates set up for Ty, and a to do list for me. This consists of cleaning, unpacking, playing, packing for the trip, shopping and decorating rooms.
The Fourth of July was super fun! Ty attended his first Rodeo with Jeff (a friend of ours), Byron and I. He stayed awake for the 7 pm to 11 pm showing which also included fire works. He was able to use his phrase... come on bullseye, and yehaw cowboy! .. This was also a milestone for him in that during the fireworks display he loved each one saying, "mom I love that one!" This was a much different reaction than in the past several celebrations where he hid, didn't like and wanted to go home to go to bed. So we are certainly growing up.
While in Kaua'i we are planning to enjoy many relaxing activities! Mostly swimming at the pools in the resort, and sight seeing many beaches. Ty is excited to ride on an airplane for 5 hours. We are excited to get away. During this time Byron and I will be celebrating our 7th wedding anniversary. It is amazing to me how time flies. We are blessed to be welcoming our second son in Novemeber.
The rest of the summer is packed with each weekend booked in August and September. We intentionally did this because Byron and I work and we want to spend as much time as a family engaging in family summer activities as well as completing chores and attending a few weddings. It seems like this summer will fly by quickly. But we are excited to enjoy it!
