Summer Time!

It's mid June and at my house we are in our summer time routine.  The kids are staying up too late and sleeping in until Noon.  The sink keeps getting piled up with dishes.  There are wet bathing suits and soggy towels all over the house and the A/C is on 24/7.  

For the past couple of weeks I have been thinking about how I love the routine of summer.  It seems that as time passes there are traditions and routines that become part of our lives.  These routines are comforting and make us who we are. 

For my family the routines of summer are fairly simple.  On hot days we go to Scottish Hills Pool in the evenings.  In July we go Frolic in the mountains for a week.  In August we usually have a family beach trip to Emerald Isle.  The rest of the time we spend doing activities outside or inside or just hanging out.  Our diet consist of food grilled or microwaved, who wants to use the oven when it's over 90 degrees outside.  And of course, I try to play tennis as often as possible.  Summer is the time that I try not to kill myself playing singles. 

So, enjoy your summer!  Fall will be here before we know it and will bring a whole different routine of homework, casseroles, and pumpkins.
