It's offically summer

Today was the last day of school! The kids got out at 11:30am, and then we went for lunch. We ordered an Ice Cream cake for Lanny for Father's Day, and took Colton to his friends house for a swim party. There's always mixed emotions on the last day of school. The kids are always excited about a break, but will miss seeing their friends. I always look forward to the summertime. We are always so busy during the school year, that we pretty much take the summer off! We swim alot, and I love just playing with my kids. Hopefully it gets warm enough to swim up here. It's cloudy and rainy and only about 75 degrees. Everyone keeps telling me it's going to get warm and sunny. It's getting harder and harder to believe!

Landon is still in Italy. Although this is a business trip, they have been able to do a little sight seeing. Last night, they broke up into teams and did an amazing race to dinner. At the end of dinner, they had to take an hour boat ride back to their hotel. They didn't get to bed until almost midnight. He said they were all sweaty and stinky, and pretty miserable. I think his exact words were something like "It's gross here. No one shaves or wears deodorant. The canals stink, and it's really humid. I'm sick of seeing sculptures of naked men!" I think he's a little over tired, and ready to come home. He has met alot of nice people from Terex (the company that owns Genie) so that's a good thing. We're all anxious for him to come home.
