A Midsummer's Night Blog

Summer is flying by, you guys.  And while we are literally running ourselves ragged trying to have the most fun possible (nothing like having a list to hold you accountable to having fun), I know I won't regret it come January.  

I won't regret going out as a family
to feed the ducks--
                 
or go to a baseball game--

And I also won't regret the times we stayed closer to home
having Lego building competitions--
or (semi-successfully) making taffy--
or getting our care package ready to send--
or even our half hearted attempt at a "science project."--

You know I never regret anything involving food
like our breakfast picnic--
or grilling pizza--
or various frozen treats--
 
(and yes, in case you were wondering, we are the mean parents that strongly encourage our kids to get the light colored snow cone flavors).

And I obviously never regret living in the water
at Lagoon-a-Beach--
 
or the Daybreak Pool--

No regrets on the 4th of July either

at the parade--
the candy aftermath--
barbeques galore--
and Holden's favorite, fireworks--

I do regret this lackluster attempt at a blog post, and I'm sure you are regretting reading it. What can I say, the siren song of Instagram makes blogging seem like a whole lot of effort all the sudden.  But rest assured, our Manning mini epic summer of awesome is coming along nicely, and mayyyybe the next update will be slightly more clever.

No promises.
