The List (well, one of them)

I feel like all we have done is remodel this summer. But that cannot be true can it? 

I mean, somewhere in there, we watched MVP earn his yellow belt in Tae Kwon Do.

We took a family day off at a water park and local ice creamery.

 The Princess turned SEVEN! *sniff sniff*

Sugar and Skillet have also been super busy, but I have guess I have no photos to prove it. 

Sugar will test for his blue belt in 2 weeks.

The summer is whizzing by quickly, so it's time for me to make my list. Each year, I make an unofficial list of the things we'd like to do before the kids go back to school. This year, the list has to include mostly activities that are free or cheap (moving is more expensive than I remembered!) 

We want to travel to a nearby town to visit their zoo.

We want to visit a beach.

I want to take Princess to see Ramona and Beezus at the kids free theater.

I want to take the kids' pictures with sparklers using a slow shutter speed and a tripod. Have you seen this technique? Even though I have had almost ZERO time for photography, I really want to make time for this one. Here's an example from the fabulous Lisa Leonard.

I hope you are all having a great time. Do you have a summer wish list?
