Summer Fun

So, what have we been up to this summer?

Our main attraction was season passes to Emerald Pointe. I have to say that it was one the best "fun money" expenses we have ever purchased. I agonized for months over spending the money on this. In the end, I decided that it was the equivalent cost of a weekend at the beach, but we could use it all summer. It was a great decision. The only draw back?.... The kids (and husband) what to go all the time! That's okay. If I don't feel up to going, DH just packs up the munchkins and I get to stay home and sleep in an oddly quiet house. I would definitely do this again.

What else? Well, DH has been taking care of our little garden. I still need to get in there and weed, but he tilled, planted, and waters it. I have never had peppers do so well as they have this year in my flower bed. I need to get a few fall seeds in so that I feel productive, too. The kids snitched the few grapes as they ripened, and DD2/5 both love picking cucumbers and zucchini. The tomatoes seem to be staying green forever. But I was informed yesterday that was because DD2, has been eating them off the plant as they just start to ripen. So that explains it!
The first year in a new garden plot is always the hardest. We didn't get a large harvest (except peppers) this year, but I hope next year will be more productive if we are still in this same house.
