9 weeks until summer!!

Yikes! 
9 weeks until school is out for the summer!
This is a good thing for me because it will be no more early morning  drives to school, packing lunch boxes and homework BUT, it means I go into camp counselor mode. 

In the past, I have always been good and finding free or inexpensive activities in the community to keep us busy and entertained but I feel like my boys are getting older and this summer may be more of a challenge. 

I am going to start posting VBSs, camps and other activities as I find them to help everyone get their calendar filled this summer.

Don't get me wrong we will have our share of lazy days also...
