Are you counting down the days until school is out for the summer? How many days are left of lunch packing, homework checking and morning routines...
As much as I am ready to have my boys at home I need those remaining days to tie up loose ends and accomplish a few more things that are just a bit easier without 3 energetic kids underfoot. We’re all dreaming of the summer days to come though.
Last week I made this slightly tart, beautifully fuschia colored cobbler and we talked about those plans.

Plans to go on countless bike rides, discovering new trails….
Making popsicles…
Going on our favorite mountain vacation, soaking up cool mountain air in the middle of July…
Watching baseball games in the warm summer evenings…
Seeing the Atlantic Ocean for the first time as a family and looking for seashells…
Visiting the farmers’ markets and picking strawberries…
I get excited just writing out the list.
