Everything Happens in June
June is a busy month in our family. Birthdays, anniversaries, Father's Day, and more are all piled into this month. On top of all the usual busyness, my husband has been busy in the church this week. There was a funeral, a baptism, summer confirmation class, and a meeting today to go over Synodical things for the convention all squeezed into the usual work for Sundays (sermon, bulletins, ect.) in two parishes.
I think we all are feeling the need for a vacation. We haven't been able to go on vacation for two years. Money has just been to tight to go off gallivanting about the country. We are going to take a vacation this year to visit family, who are sprinkled throughout three states. Someone in our parish suggested that we should take the kids to Disney World (where they took their vacation). One of those smile-and-nod moments. Ah, it will be good to get away, out of the corn...
Also this month in June, General Scuttlebutt posted his "seven things". If you're a fan of the General, march over and check it out!

Your children are still a little young yet to really appreciate a vacation like this...but never know what awaits down the road. (My kids were nice and nerdy and loved educational jaunts.)
BTW...we had that old pop-up camper for seven years...took it everywhere and had a blast camping with the family. Cheap fun and great opportunity to learn love...things get mighty tight in a pop-up camper!
There are less expensive options to Florida although they won't necessarily get you out of the corn! :)
Dixie, that sounds like a great vacation! We like the nerdy, educational vacations too. I didn't know you once lived in IA. Fort Dodge is about 3 1/2 hours away from us.

Thanks for the laugh! That really made me smile! I don't have any burning desire to go to FL anyway. We lived there for one year in the Tampa Bay area - one year was enough for me. My husband likes to joke that he keeps me around because it doesn't take expensive things to please me. A far less expensive trip is OK by me! I think that's when you end up making the most memories.
