I was one of those mothers who loved summer vacation. When my kids were little I did daycare to stay at home with them and have little friends that would come to play every day. After the last day of school, we could sleep in a little, stay up late, go to the beach, be outside basically all day long. I loved getting those workbooks at school and the girls could work on them during the summer. They didn’t like it so much, but it was good to keep them on track. Also, I would buy tons of crafting kits, buttons, yarn, paint, clay….whatever. Last week while walking through JoAnn Fabrics I saw those craft kits and got a little sad. I miss those days so much.
So moms and dads, I know summer vacation can be stressful. Kids get bored and you are telling them they can clean if they are so bored don’t work (didn’t really work with me either), they are bickering or whining…not sure which is worse. Keep in mind, you only get 18 summers with them while they are home. And really not even that many because the older they get they get jobs, have friends and are on the go a lot. So make those 18 summers awesome. Camp, swim, play ball, build sandcastles, fly a kite, have picnics, have bonfires…have lots of bonfires, bike, scooter, wake surf, rollerblade, build outdoor forts, plant flowers or a garden, visit a strawberry farm and eat more than you pick, take a nap outside. Make the most of a Minnesota summer and the most of the precious time with your kids. It goes by faster than you can blink.
Onto Miss Emily’s session! Love a girl with dimples (since having my own)! I did Emily’s sister’s session a few years ago…I love it when that happens.
Emily wanted to do some of her session at the beautiful grounds of Carlos Creek Winery. No complaints from me!
