I love that our summer is busy and our home is open, but sometimes it takes a master schedule to keep track of everything going on. We have boys away at camp while we have extra ones to spend the week or weekend. We have three boys and anywhere from 3 or 4 extra on a part-time basis. I love that our home is the place they gather. It is something that Lisa and I talked about before the boys were old enough to even have friends coming over.
Summer also means that we get to take some trips. I like exploring new places and doing things as a family (Next up is San Antonio with a visit to Sea World and a couple days at Schlitterbahn with one of our extra boys going along with us). Love the more relaxed schedule also. Not something lined up every night of the week which is the way it tends to be during the school year. The down side of summer is that we haven't sees a lot of our friends over the last month (funny how they have trips planned also) and that sometimes the relaxed schedule leads to boredom for the boys.
That's the thing with life in general. With the good there is sometimes some bad as well. With the bad there can possibly be some good just around the corner as well. We get a little bit of both. With both it is our choice how we see things... I get to relax because I have some down time or I am bored because I don't haven't anything to do. Our attitude and perspective goes a long way in how we see things. What do you choose to see in life... the good or the bad? Just remember it is your choice how you view it. Hope your summer is filled with some fun and a little relaxation along the way.
