School's out for SUMMER!!!!

Here we are on the first day of summer holidays, I decided to sleep in so didn't get my run in this morning. However construction started at 6:30 so I guess that is what I get for not waking up and doing what I know I should have done.
We took our kids to go see toy story 3 last night to celebrate a great year. It was amazing. The perfect way to end three great movies that were Greg's favorite when he was little.
On Monday Clint and James set up our pool in their backyard and I can't keep my kids away. I don't think Ginger knew her family was going to grow by four. They have a huge pad in their back yard and the pool just fit perfect. It great to have a place to play and cool down. Yesterday I had to pull my kids out of there and bring them home.
I am sad with myself for not working harder this pass couple months. I went to school and have kind of slacked off ever since. I need to work out a schedule that will push me to work harder. Now that the kids are home for the summer I fear this goal will have to wait a couple months until we get go back to school in the fall.
I have so many great activities planned for us this summer and I can finally say that I am excited to spend so much time with my crew, I think they are pretty great. We are going camping, to a cabin we rented for ten days, day trips to Calgary, hopefully see my girlfriend who is coming up and I haven't seen her in ten and half years. We are going boating, hiking, biking, on picnics, swimming most days, my entire family is coming in August for Alina's baptism, we are celebrating my grandma's 90th birthday. Plus reading books watching movies I LOVE SUMMER!!!
I hope we will grow closer as a family this summer too. I will be running all summer and hope to be ready for a 5k race in the fall. I have a great group that I go out with every morning. I think it is time to be healthy for me!! Plus my girlfriend and I are going for bikini bodies...........maybe I will post pictures if we achieve our goal, I realize it will take longer then just the summer but we are having fun doing it together.
I hope everyone else has fun things planned for your summer holidays with lots of posts for us to read and keep in touch.
