| 1st and last days of school 2012/13, Ready to kick off Summer!!! |
We don't have any trouble finding ways to spend our summer days. This summer we got 95 of them. Normally it will be less. Switching school districts and therefore schedules allowed us a few extra days. On a side rant, I wish school would go back to Labor to Memorial Days. If we can't get it in in that time, we are doing too much. That from an educator. ANYWAYS....
We made a Summer BucketList
of things we wanted to do do this summer. We got most of them in before the
funding ran dry. Most were free things. We just plain ran out of time and
energy for some of them. FULL POST ON HOW WE MADE IT HERE.Can't find it, bummer because it was awesome.

With our first days out of school we went on
our first camping trip for Memorial weekend to Cook Lake, WY. See the full post
HERE.
There was an awesome storm with
tornadic activity on our way home.
Wayne and I celebrated our 8th Wedding
Anniversary with a staycation.
The 8th year is celebrated with Bronze
so Zach and I went and bought a Bronze wind chime & possibly the last belle pepper plant in the Northern Hills. Wayne made an amazing
supper & Andy picked out Diary of a Wimpy Kid for a family movie.
We were planning to leave Thursday the 6th
for Nebraska and stay through the 23rd, however Spearfish’s ESY
(Extended School Year) for Special Education students was going on and doing
their screenings for new kids. This was an excellent brush up training for me
and I rearranged the trip to be able to make it.
Instead on the 7th of June Zach and I did the Hay Fever Run/Walk. Zach ran in a 1/2 mile kids race where he decided to stop and wait for his friend part way through. We then walked the 2 mile race where I got 4th and he got 1st of the kids. Full post HERE.
Trip highlights….
We returned from NE on Sunday June 23rd. Wayne went back
to driving kids for Driver’s Ed. I was preparing the house for my return to
work.
I became a certified Storm Spotter but my
scanner broke and I never did get to report in. I did spot a few times though.
We had a garage sale the last weekend in June. I didn’t have any
other time this year. Normally I do it the first weekend in June when its
usually the first warm weekend and people have their lists fresh. I usually do
pretty good. This year being a month into season when I had it, I did okay but
stuff that usually goes good just didn’t. People already had found that stuff.
So it was a bummer. I will go back to the first weekend in June. Next summer.
Then it was the 4th of July with all
its festivities. Here are some highlights…. Full Post HERE.

This year we went down to Angostura to camp for
the 4th also. It was way too hot out there. FULL POST HERE.
After the 4th it was the weekend of my birthday. My
parents came up and we stayed in some cabins at Custer State Park. We also went
to the Drive Inn, hiked Sylvan Lake and got Old Time Photos taken in Keystone.

We were going to go camp again but hadn’t heard back from our
friends and decided to finally spend a weekend at home. It was nice except when
the neighbor kids rang the doorbell no less than 18 times at 7:15am and again
at 7:30. I disconnected it.
Then it was Rally time which usually culminates the end of
summer. I frantically tried wrapping up my projects
around the house and for some reason decided it was a good time to rotate the
boys into new bedrooms. I got them into
the rooms but they weren't 100% done before school started.
Grandpa Tonsager decided to take the older 3 boys for the week
before school started. He had many things planned to do with them and they all
sounded super fun. See the full post HERE.

Before school started for Belle, we had our
Back-to-School BBQ for neighbors and fellow teachers. Wayne smoked some loin
again. We had a good turnout, different crew this time, but a great time as
always.
The boys had their back-to-school sleepover, camp-out style
this year. I’m doing a “Fix it Friday” post on it as well HERE.
The boys and I spent our final days of summer
vacation hanging out in my new classroom and getting it organized. That was
both fun and overwhelming. There really wasn't much in there when I got there.
It came together nicely in the end though…
And then the summer was over and it was the first days of
school for all.
