one day left

So everyone was healthy this morning--whew! And son 1 had a nice 5th grade graduation, came home wearing a number of pins for various things (awards), and is now, in his words, a "summergrader." The other kids have an awards ceremony in the morning and then we are welcome to check them out. Everyone is excited to be out of school. It's been a long time since having a real break! (17 days last summer, part of which was moving from Germany to Michigan and Michigan to Arkansas, back to back.) Of course, this won't stop them from being bored in two days. :) I hope they remember the days of nothing once we are on our way this summer. We'll be driving to CA, NV, UT, and (maybe) ID (depends on how people are doing by then). Family reunions, people to see who we haven't seen since our departure out of the US, and hey, it's been a while since we did a cross-country drive. I-40, here we come!

For those of you with kids, how about you? Is school out? For those with OR without kids, have any fun summer plans ahead?
