Right before summer break, Joe took the kids for a day, and I spent the day working. It was a good experience. I realized that working 8+ hours is way easier than caring for children. Joe had a hard time, but the children did enjoy the extra time with Dad. He took them to the jump park.

Now we are at the start of summer break. So far, I’m enjoying it. It’s not perfect, but I like having all the children around. I have great kids and they are fun to do things with. The weather has been beautiful and we’ve been spending a lot of time outside. There’s time working in the yard, swimming in the pool, and going on walks.

We went on a hike to Vista Ridge, and the trail was full of wildflowers and ended up being a great length for our family.

The next day, I went with a couple of my kids, mom, and sister and walked to a poppy field.

We also had Day Camp that I attended with the boys from my church.
