Summer is over! Can you believe it? Time just seems to fly!
Oh my gosh...how did we get here already? Brevard County Florida students report back to school on Monday, August 18. Registration has been going on all week!
Summer was fun! But to talk to my teenagers you might get a different story.
I heard one of my girls telling one of their friends, "oh, you know...we didn't do much, I guess it was kind of boring." Now, how can that possibly be? Boring????? I was surprised to hear that coming out of one of my girl's mouths. Or is that just what teenagers say to each other?
They never stopped going for a minute from the beginning to the end of summer.
Let me reflect for a minute and smile at how "boring" our summer really was...
We had a beginning of the summer pool party for 25, 13 to 14 year old teenagers, with a shaving cream fight and water balloons!
We went to the beach. We went shopping. 
We went to Buena Vista Village and Walt Disney World for a couple of days.
My sister, Jean from Navarre Florida spent 2 weeks with us. She's great!
They talked on their cell phones and instant messaged their friends.
We played basketball. We went bike riding. We went bowling. We swam in our pool. We went fishing.
Sam, my 13 year old went to dance camp for 4 days with the West Shore Dance Team over at the University of Central Florida. The team earned a superior trophy for their efforts.
Stef, my older daughter took dance classes at Brevard Community College 4 days a week.
They had at least 20 sleepovers with friends.
They went spent the weekend with their aunt and uncle and went boating.
Sam went to powerlifting 3 days a week.
Sam competed in the State and National Powerlifting Championships in June and earned 4 World's Records in her weight class.
We played with our dog, Bailey and took him out every chance we could.
Sam taught dance class to 3 to 12 year olds for half of the summer.
They were teacher assistants at Vacation Bible School for a week.
Stef went to a Sweet Sixteen Party at the Melbourne Beach Hilton, and went to Cirque du Soleil in Orlando, which was phenomenal!
Okay, I could go on and on, but since I lost MOST of you at, we went shopping...you get my point. I don't think either one of them ever sat down for a minute this summer!
So, I'm still trying to figure out what part of the summer was boring.
Could you excuse me, because I'm going to take a nap!
that for you
What summer? Is it over already! Whoa.
Michael, I just don't know how time can get go any faster than it already does! It truly flies! Have a great weekend!
Life is never boring to those who enjoy living it!
Ron, I agree. It's all about attitude, isn't it? I was surprised to hear one of my girls saying that to a friend of hers. I think that sometimes teenagers get "caught up" in conversations with friends. But, the next day we were at school registration, and I volunteered for a couple of hours and I heard the same thing several times that day from different teenagers. Hopefully it's just a phase.
