summertime, summertime sum sum summertime

So far we have been keeping the kids busy this summer.  They have:

• gone to the mountains and enjoyed the crisp, icy waters of the lakes and streams there
• worked hard at football, softball, and swim practice during the week
• logged in 6 hours at the pool (would have been much more if I hadn't have gotten a major sunburn the first time we went)
• been tormented at the orthodontist (#1 to get braces at the end of the month.  She's crushed.)
• ridden all the rollercoasters at the park
• gone dancing at the Elk's Club
• played tons of card games
