What Was Your Best Summer Moment?

TSM-PP

It’s funny. At the start of summer vacation, I always seem to dread the long weeks ahead. How will I keep both girls entertained 24-7 for 10 weeks. But by mid July a panic sets in – summer is almost over and that means I have to send my daughter back to school. (And this  year full-day Kindergarten at that.) 

At the beginning of the summer I created a bucket list of things I wanted to do with the K before she headed back to school, and I am pleased to report that we did nearly everything on the list. Now that she is back in school, and I am missing her, Coca-Cola challenged me to share some of our best moments of summer. (Thank goodness for Instagram.)

We celebrated the first day of summer with a picnic.

K performed her second dance recital.

K hosted her very first Lemonade Stand (and made approximately $2).

We took a family trip to the beach.

We celebrated the 4th of July at Mimi and Papa Jack’s beach house.

We took the girls to meet “the real live Octonauts.” (Summer made.)

Captain Barnacles Kwazii Cat Octonauts

And we said goodbye to summer with a pool party.

It was a busy summer!

    My best summer moment is when I got to go to my brother’s wedding and He made a toast that was so inspiring to me. I am just so thankful that my brother is here today because he almost died 3 years ago!

    Like many, summer means trips to the shore. Here in NJ, so many were touched by their summer trips to the shore. We survived Hurricane Sandy and the Shore reconstruction really symbolized the resilience of the area.

    My best moment was taking my daughter to the airport so she could see her father for the first time in 8 months. He is stationed in Korea and we are living in the states. She was so happy and had no negative reaction to it all. Was amazing to see my almost 3 year old at the time so excited and half asleep at the same time!
