What you're planning this summer sounds great--I'd love to crawl into a suitcase and go with. Of course, it would have to be a big suitcase on wheels, because I should be spending time at the Y instead of stowing away with you, but... :lol: From watching graduation every year (and teaching seniors for more years than I can count), I can tell you that the next school year will go very, very fast. Enjoy every minute, but remember--when it's time for her to leave the nest, let her fly. You've helped her develop strong wings. They'll always bring her home. I teach, so you know I LOVE summer!

This summer has already been a particularly good one for us because we moved back to TX. It will be great once we sell our TN house and can buy a new one here - I love to decorate so I'm really looking forward to that. Because of the moving expenses though we don't have any trips planned. But that's okay with me because I'm finally back home!!! Kathy, your summer sounds great and very special. Enjoy!

I've tried to make a point of cherishing each stage my son has been through -- rather than mourn the passing of one, try to look forward to the next. He's almost two so we're talking about trying things this summer that we didn't last year, like camping and fishing. I confess to a sense of trepidation about venturing into the woods instead of the nice city park. He's inquisitive, fast, and fearless -- a combination that may someday give me heart failure. :lol: Katherine, that does sound like fun!

As a teacher, I was beginning to feel more like a babysitter the last two weeks. I’m glad school is out too! As a teacher, I was beginning to feel more like a babysitter the last two weeks.

And it sounds as if you have tingly-cool adventures planned! You're so clever to have raised a daughter smart enough to love Harry Potter! ;-) Oh, Kathy, you’re so smart to cherish every minute!

I want to slow it down, but only bits and parts that really matter...like family. Enjoy every minute. I feel you :roll:

My oldest is just four and I'm already dreading her going off to college. Isn't that silly? Enjoy the summer! You nearly made me cry!

We've got to nail it down really soon. We joined my husband's family for a trip to Yosemite a couple of years ago - Wow. It was great! (If you're staying in the park, the cabins are the way to go - no worries about bears or noisy campers). We’ve been waffling over vacation plans for the past couple of months!
