When the new things and plans all come together, it is an amazing time.

Make the memories.

Spend the days with the people you want to have in your life for a very long time. Take down anecdotes of things you all talked about and buy the souvenirs. Send notes of what you laughed about later.

Take pictures. Take lots and lots of pictures. Make faces. Giggle. Tell jokes. Or, tell bad dad puns. Buy postcards and send them home to put into the memory boxes after they fall off the bulletin board.

Savor the time together.

This summer, all the new things and plans we have been making are finally coming together. It is going to be another one to remember.
