Our first third of the summer also found us hustling to Basketball, Volleyball, Nature and STEaM camps ...
On many mornings I had to literally be more than two places at once ... and I felt a growing frustration that this is not the pace I hoped to set for our lives in general, but for summertime especially. I felt more than ever, like I had succumbed to the Midwestern life I had dreaded.

This summer I also traded my fun car for a more practical and fuel friendly mini-van. The girls quickly grew to love the van and the myriad of features that they feel have enhanced road trips and jaunts to Target.
{After six weeks of ownership and logging a whopping 5,000 miles of road trips and running I have grown to appreciate the fuel economy and comfort of the van. I have also stopped announcing to Mr Johnson in feigned alarm each morning, "Hey, there's a VAN in our driveway!"}
Thankfully as June drew to a close our summer pace became more summer-like.
