A Summer to Remember

This summer was spent running to the pharmacy.  I counted 12 prescriptions that we had filled.  In less than 2 months.  We're talking 3 ear infections, 2 sinus infections, bronchitis, and pneumonia. These are just the ailments that required antibiotics.  The coughing, fevers, aches, and more coughing just. never. quit.  Well, they did.  Just in time for school to start.  I'm really hoping it means that we got it all out of our system before the winter gunk starts.

At least we got our road trip in first thing.  And at the very end of the summer we squeezed in a family reunion up in Washington, so I guess it wasn't a total bust.

The reunion was great.  Sam's sister really put in A LOT of work to the planning and organizing of everything.  We're so grateful!

The boy cousins got to sleep in their own cabin.  Oh man did they think this was the best.  It wasn't so great when they got up the first day at 5 in the morning ready to start their day together.  They were ready to go swimming at 9 while the rest of us were barely cleaning up breakfast.  But why not? They were in and out of the pool all week long.

There were games to be played, bows and arrows to make, movies to make, scooters to ride, good food to eat, ghost stories to tell, and lots of hanging out and talking.  It was the perfect mix of activities and chillaxin'.

On our way home we stopped by my sister's house.  It was so nice to see her family and finally meet my newest and super cute nephew, Adam.
