Summer Lovin'

utsumi aichi: we went to the fricking beach, ya'll

We have been having a blast this summer. Now that everyone is healthy we are making the most of getting outdoors. We only do excursions twice a week since Jason and I are both working on projects that require us to be home. Also, these excursions are a little exhausting and require a bit of recovery time. Like yesterday's trip to the beach. Without a car, getting four littles and their reluctant father to the beach was not an easy feat. We left early and came home late with countless station transfers in between. The sunburnt shoulders are proof that we not only made it to Utsumi Beach, but that we played in the Pacific Ocean for as long as possible.

One of the reasons we are enjoying summer more this year is due to the recent acquisition of the long sought after Family Bicycle. It makes getting around so much easier that for a few days it was hard to keep us indoors (and working on those projects I mentioned earlier).

We have a few more excursions before Nico has to return to kindergarten (for marching band practice of all things). Science museum, zoo, Pokemon movie, and the city fruit park. Sebastian is really excited about the last two things. The lull between the excursions are deemed boring but I think he also likes the lazy days too of reading comic books and building monsters in clay.

Summer is now ranking as the number one season on our charts. How's it going on yours?

Soon. Very Soon.

Summer vacation is approaching for me and with it a chance to get my head together before my last semester in grad school. Mainly, I want to get the shop up and running a little more properly. I'll be adding stuff during the next week that have been in process for many weeks. Not because they are huge or complex but simply because my time has not be my own and when it has, I haven't had the energy to grab it and tame it. Two weeks is too short but it is what I have so I won't complain.

I'll try and make up for the crickets around here by posting double time for a bit. You know, when summer vacation actually starts. In a week. Until then, please find a nice shady spot, a glass of lemonade, and figure out what those clouds over your head look like.
