Man vacation week goes so fast! Too fast!
We had a great week at the beach. We had a different location on the island this year, which honestly we didn't love... but it was a great week to relax and reconnect and get away from reality for a while. I think it was especially timely after our crazy June!
We did, of course, miss Spencer a ton. It was weird not having him there. I definitely had this "why take pictures without everyone" mindset - so I took hardly any pictures the whole week. It may have also been an intentional effort to get off my phone more. I did get this awesome shot of Zane and Beck in the "big waves" from Tropical Storm Elsa - which really didn't impact our weather much at all, but made for a few days of angry ocean!
This week the boys did a wrestling camp at the high school - which was fun for them and easy for us! Quinn has been so busy this week between volunteering at the camp, working and tackling some SAT tutoring - oh plus socializing! I haven't hardly seen him since we got home - exactly the way a 17 year old summer should be!
Spencer has had a big week too. He transitioned from the 10-person ExCEL portion of his summer to the 220ish-person Citadel Success Institute portion. For the ExCEL kids, it's not been a huge change... they moved to a new barracks and have a LOT more meetings and things they need to do. I think they are getting a lot less sleep too, but they aren't going through the shock that the other CSI kids are dealing with. I think around half dozen kids quit the program within the first 2 days. There's a reason they call The Citadel the "road less traveled". It's not an easy path.
This weekend - we are back to tackling the bedroom move project - I'm pretty sure we can get Quinn moved this weekend assuming our new rug from Wayfair gets delivered on time. I'm determined to get as much as we can done this weekend because football starts in like 10 days - and there goes our evenings and weekends again. LOL It's our crazy life and I love it.
Have a great week! We only have 2 more full weeks left before school starts - where does the time go???
