My July

Last weekend Mikey, MK and Bruce had a great time at Youth Conference in Kirtland. MK was was home for less than 2 days before she was off to EFY. On Saturday I will go and pick her up at 7:00 AM at SVU. Mikey and Bruce leave for Scout Camp that same morning at 11:00 (they might overlap with MK by an hour or so). Mikey gets home the following Saturday. The next Tuesday, MK leaves for girls camp. She gets home the following Saturday. Then the next Monday Mikey and Bruce leave for High Adventure (a 200 mile bike ride over 6 days through PA and MD). They'll be back on Saturday. That brings us to the last week in July when on that Monday MK starts a local basketball day camp and Mikey is off to EFY (also at SVU). A week off for everyone and then MK starts field hockey for Madison. If you think this is a crazy busy time, guess again! It's totally vacation time for me. The kids are away at camps having the time of their lives, no lunches to make, no carpools to run, no seminary to wake up for. It's heaven I tells ya! All I've been doing is knitting, quilting and doing family history work. And do I feel the least bit guilty? Heck no! Best thing about 4th of July weekend? Well after the Town of Vienna special events and fireworks and since Mikey and Bruce are usually at Scout Camp every year, I'll have to say it's the Leesburg Outlet sales. Ain't America great?
