Endless Summer (I wish!)

Is it really the end of July already? How can that be??!! Let's see -- since I last posted, we returned home from vacation and went on another vacation! :o) We headed to Wisconsin Dells last week with another family and had a blast. Alex has been there many times with the family that joined us, but for the rest of the Miller clan, this was our first visit. We will definitely go back!! We stayed at Mt. Olympus Resort & Theme Park, which includes a little bit of everything. Amazing go cart tracks, awesome roller coasters (OUCH -- after getting tossed and thrown about at very high speeds, I have to admit that I felt every bit of my almost 44 years each morning when I climbed out of bed), kiddie rides, water slides galore (both indoor and outdoor), midway games, bumper boats, etc. Definitely something for everyone! I added a short slide show so you can see for yourselves.

Nick attended basketball camp at Illinois State University a couple of weeks ago and track camp at our high school last week before we left for the Dells. He will start football practice on Monday, August 4, which means our evenings become chaos for the next 12 weeks (but in a good way). Alex has continued with football "captain's practices" and weight lifting and will start two-a-day sessions on August 13. School starts for us on August 20, so unfortunately, the summer really is starting to wind down. I guess that means it is time to shop for school supplies, uniforms, etc. If history is any indication, I will successfully procrastinate those things till the very bitter end. LOL.

Thanks for checking in with us! Enjoy what remains of those lazy, crazy, hazy days of summer!
