What Are Your Summer Plans?

We'll be taking 3 family camping trips. We're first time campers so it'll be interesting. In between we will be roller skating, bowling, swimming and hiking. Its great to get out and just do normal stuff with my kids.

God willing, if this never-ending divorce finalizes, I'll be house-hunting.

I'm heading down to Miami for 7 weeks with the kids. They go to nature/archeology camp on Biscayne Bay and since the camp won't let me in (something about age limit Pffft) I have created my own Mommy Camp. I bike, collect mangos, can mango chutney no one will eat, kayak, explore, take yoga classes and tennis lessons.

This is our 4th year going and the last few have been kind of rough because of major surgeries and subsequent weight gain. I'm so excited to head down his year lighter, fitter and happier than I have been in years. My husband and kids are loving the mom who is always on the go and I'm loving life. Bring on the South Florida heat and humidity! I'm ready for you this year!

At the end of the summer we are going on an 8 day Alaska cruise with my husbands family. My goal is lose enough weight to feel comfortable in the wet suit I'm going to wear when we go snorkeling in Ketchikan. I have had a life long fear of wet suits (I'm convinced I will look like a seal in one) so I specifically booked this trip to motivate me to move this summer. Just the thought of me trying to shimmy into a wet suit on the shore of a freezing cold body of Water makes me laugh so hard I'm already burning calories...

I love hearing everyone's plans. Be safe and wear sunscreen and post pictures!

We wait so long for summer to come around here and then when it does it only lasts for a good 6 weeks....so I will be on a 6 week vacation at home! Gardening, tending to my flowers and swimming in the lake. I had to stop kayaking 3 years ago due to my weight, so I am hoping to start up again in July. It's truey amazing after reading through the replies how active we all are becoming either for the first time or starting up again!

I am also trying to work up the nerve to take horseback riding lessons this summer:-)

I'll be traveling through the Maritimes with my pipe band and competing in various highland games. I'm a tenor drummer, and we will be competing in Moncton NB, Antigonish NS, Fredericton NB (my hometown) and then we will be competing in the North American Pipe Band Championships in Maxville Ontario, and the day after we compete in the Montreal Quebec games. It's a full summer that starts June 18th and competition season is over August 1st.

I'm really looking forward to this competition season because this year we are competing at a higher grade level than the last two years that I've been with them. It will be interesting to see where we land among the other bands!

Among the whirlwind band trips, we will be camping at least one weekend with a bunch of friends for our annual getaway.
