What We're Doing This Summer

I was very inspired  by everyone's ten on the tenth posts, sponsored by Shimelle. I will definitely join in next month! If I were to have done a list this month, it would have been "Ten Things We're Doing This Summer," inspired in part by this fabulous post on what they are NOT doing this summer at the home of Havoc and Mayhem.  Since it's no longer the tenth, I'm not confined to that number.  So, instead, here are 16 things we're doing this summer. {Today's artwork is another page in my smashbook sketchbook, featuring a piece of the envelope I received in the "Good Mail Day" swap that I absolutely loved.}
1.  Henry will work at the CCP sports camp and do his summer AP American History reading.
2. Clara will go to surf camp and finally learn to surf.  She got shut out of Junior Guards this year because it's become so popular, so this will be her substitute.
3.  We will take a family trip to kayak in the San Juan Islands and visit Seattle Washington.
4. Paul and I will travel to England (London, Cambridge and the Cotswolds).
5. Clara will visit relatives in Southern California.
6. Henry will go to a residential soccer camp at Santa Clara University and play soccer for a local men's soccer team.
7. Henry will get his drivers license.
8. Clara will go to basketball camp
9. Paul will plan for  his retirement from the state and continue to lay the groundwork for opening his own consulting business.
10. I will scrapbook - focusing on my heritage album and annual family albums.
11.  I will work on my photography - focusing on portraits and relearning PSE.
12.  We will finally replace the carpets in the house.
13.  We will work on backyard repairs
14. Henry will play American Legion baseball and attend the HMBHS baseball clinic.
15. I write an article or two.
16. I will continue to work in mixed media collage and art journaling. I don't have specific projects in mind, except that I want to get back to working in plaster once the weather gets warmer.
Sounds busy! But still more relaxed than the school year. What are your summer plans?
