Spring/Summer things!

Mid-June finds the Johnston family busy and looking forward to vacation and camp in July! I planted my veggie garden, but it is looking kinda sad. Some bugs have gotten to my beans, only 1/2 of my carrots have popped up, and I can't see ANY of the lettuce I planted. The peas are the only thing thriving, and it looks like I may have a few cucumbers. Next year, we are doing things differently!

Besides our usual things, I am now walking on Tuesday nights with three friends, part of a moms group on Thursday mornings, going to the summer reading program at the library on Fridays and considering taking the girls to Kid Zone at New Life on Wednesday mornings. Whew, I'm gonna need a break from my summer vacation! We are enjoying cooking out on Mike's new grill and enjoying the sunshine until 10:00!

We are very excited for the family reunion in South Dakota. We leave the 1st of July! I have not met most of Mike's extended family, and am told there are lots of kids for the girls to play with. It sounds like it will be a group of 30 +! We are planning on going to a chuckwagon dinner, Mt. Rushmore for fireworks on the 4th and other family fun activities! I am hoping to talk Mike into going to Wall Drug and the corn palace, but it might be too far away!

We spend most of July at camp, and this year I will be there more than Mike! Mom is coming the first week I am there to watch the girls because I will be the camp nurse and kitchen help! The next week, Mike is at camp, and mom will stay at our house. After that, comes Junior camp which I am the assistant director, followed by Livie's first chance camp in August.
