Summer Fun For Everyone

Summer has just flown by.... again... as it seems to do every year.

We have had another busy summer.  We were able to get 3 camping weekends in, which the kids absolutely love, and more parties and free babysitting play dates than you can imagine!

When Shell mentioned that she was having a Summer Fun Link-Up and that there were going to be fabulous prizes from Ubisoft ... I knew it was the perfect time to poke my head out from hiding (and take a couple minutes from the insanity of trying to buy a house) to join in on the fun and to share what we have been busy doing!

Join Shell and Link up your Summer Fun for a chance to win prizes from Ubisoft.


Our first camping trip this summer at Lake Berlin in Ohio (our favorite camping ground!)
Silly Little b posing in the lake with his brother Z-man!


What a catch!  Lots of fishing and swimming in the lake!

My kids first trip to a baseball game!  They made it til the 7th inning stretch and then were ready to go (Hubby and I weren't - it was a fantastic game!!  But we made it home in time to watch the last inning and a half on tv)




 Summer Fun isn't just for the kids!  
At my grandma's 70th birthday party my cousin and sister and I did a little after indulging a little  impromptu dance that we used to do as kids to "Jimmy Jimmy" by Madonna

Our final camping trip... Just this past weekend....

Now it is time to start winding down and get ready for school to start...

But not before we celebrate my 34th birthday on Friday!  Summer isn't over until my birthday is past - it's the rules!!!
