Since I've posted on the other 3 blogs today (my personal one, the recipe one, and the sisters blog), I thought I'd say hello here as well. (Also, the politics blog is dead. I don't think I'm going to revive it at all - it just takes too much time and attention away from my kiddos.)
Adam took Summer and Marnie swimming for a little bit today - first time in the pool for the year! (Mom, don't forget your swimsuit and bring a pool towel because we don't have extras for that. Jared, same for your family when you come in a few weeks - swimsuits and pool towels.) We've got a pretty busy summer ahead - Mom will be here on Monday for 3 weeks, and Dad will be here for the last week. Jared and family are coming for Memorial Day weekend for Jenna's baby blessing. If anyone else wants to come then, speak up quick!
In June, I'm going to Girls' Camp again - Jenna will go with me. The first week of July, we're going to Nauvoo for youth conference - I'm one of the chaperones for our ward, but our whole family is going. I'm really excited for Adam to see the Church history sites - we're planning on going to the Missouri sites as well. We're also going to see one of the guys who served his mission in our ward in DC - he's out there for the summer as one of the performers.
At the end of July, Adam is going to Chicago for work for a few days. *sigh* We don't get to go on this trip with him like we did last year ... but it's shorter. If it were for 2 full weeks again, I'd probably be more inclined to haul everyone along but it's only 4 or 5 days. In August, we're planning to go to Texas for Bryan's baptism (Jared, I need to talk to you about a tentative date for that because of my YW planning), and maybe another weekend of camping up in Arkansas. Apparently, it's a pretty outdoorsy state with lots of lakes and stuff.
Sadly, because of the stupid oil spill in the Gulf, we will not be going to the beach this year. That's a real bummer, because we really like the beach! The beach we went to last year in Pensacola was really great, and it was close enough (5 hours) to do a weekend trip! That area is probably going to get hit with the spill in the next week or 2. And the well that's spewing all the oil still hasn't been capped, or even slowed. Argh! We're wondering if it's going to swoop around Florida and work its way up the Atlantic side. If that stays clear, maybe next year we'll go all the way across Florida to visit some friends in St. Augustine and go to the beach there.
Any big plans from anyone else?
