Great Summer Almost Done

Well, it has been a very hectic summer. My two girls were very busy with summer activities for all of July and into August.  This meant that we parents were super busy transporting them all over the place from one activity to the next.  The only reprieve that we had was when they spent a week at camp.  They enjoyed themselves tremendously and we enjoyed the week of quiet tranquility.  Truth be told, I missed them after a few days, and the silence in the house started to drive me crazy.

My cousin from Canada spent a week with us.  That was a lovely week spent with her, just catching up on each others lives. She has some really beautiful locks.

Then we spent a weekend in Negril. We all had a grand time there. We spent time on the beach and spent a day at a water park. I really love summer holidays.


























































Then we spent last weekend at another beach in another part of the island.  This time in Trelawny.
Here's a picture of my mom, my girls and me.  Three generations vacationing together.  These are precious moments that I truly treasure.  My mom will be 70 years old at the end of August. Can you believe that? She looks great and she is enjoying her life.


Dad and his daughters. These three would get up at the crack of dawn to play in the pool. Before breakfast. Talk about energy!

With all the sea, sand, sun  and chlorine, my locks held up very well.  They are a little fuzzy and could probably do with re-tightening now.  But I don't think I can find the time to do this before my scheduled re-ti at the beginning of September.
Just as I am settling into the groove of summer, it is almost over. Sigh......my two weeks off is over and I am back at work. And we will soon be gearing up for back to school.  So not much time left to relax.  I think we will try to squeeze one more beach weekend into the remainder of the summer.
