Time Flies By

Where has the time gone? The past few weeks have just flown by. June is a challenging month for us. Javin's school ended so we began a new summer routine. I'll post more about my summer school for the kids later. The anniversary of Kevin's death and Father's Day have now come and gone. Those two have got to be the hardest days for me to face all year. Too much down time gets my mind to wondering down depressing roads, so I respond with a full schedule of activities to keep things interesting. A trip to Chuckie Cheese for a birthday party was just what we needed to keep our spirits up.

We got our borrowed pop-up camper set up and had our own little camping night in the driveway. We were surrounded by animals with deer out one window and horses out the other... Then our neighbor decided to mow the yard at 9 pm, so our serene evening was drowned out by the rumble of the lawn mower. Ahh the joys of camping. The big question was, "Whose bed is Molly going to sleep on?" She ended up choosing Kailyn's bed but Kailyn kept kicking her so I moved her to Javin's bed. It was a fun outing before we head out this weekend for the real thing.

Sunday we went to Mohican for a picnic lunch and hike to Lyons Falls (uhh..Trickle, I mean). Kailyn does not have the endurance and energy that Javin had at her age. She walked pretty slow and had to be carried part of the time. It was a nice little hike with beautiful surroundings. Don't squint too hard, but there is water falling down from the top of that cliff. You'll have to take my words for it.

Javin's Tball season ended and Tae Kwon Do started up. He has been enjoying his class which is very small right now. He is getting lots of personal attention and is being challenged to work hard. Just what he needs.
