Summer 2010 Project

I’ve always wanted to do the Flickr 365 Day Project. If you’re not familiar with Flickr or the project, you should go check it out.  I am pretty sure it’s not something I could keep up with 365 days of the year, as much as I would want to, so instead I decided to do a Summer 2010 Project. I’m going to take photos every day this summer while my girls are on summer break from school. It’s lofty for me, even shortened to a span of a little over two months, but I’m going to do my best.  My goal is to have enough photos at the end of the summer to put together an album for the girls of what they did this summer.  A little keepsake from Mom.

And while I’m at it, I’m going to share it with you as often as I can get my act in gear and post them.  So, here we go.

Day 1:   The last day of school, actually. We celebrated by going to the first night of the St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Fun Fair. And wow, was it fun! Even though in the middle of the evening it got dark and the skies opened up and poured on us, the girls had a blast.  The rain cooled the steamy temperatures down and we stayed well past dark. I was determined to get the most out of those $15 wrist bands.

I think we may have spent every cent of those wrist bands on the fun slide.

Day 2:  A little after-dinner ball chasing.

I should put a disclaimer that the below pictured feline is not actually our cat, but rather is one of the approximate 4,000 cats that seem to roam our neighborhood and appear in our yard at any given time of the day.   

Day 3 we were gone most of the day, so we ended the night with a little shot of the girls hanging out at bedtime. Don’t get sentimental - they would  NEVER agree to sleep in the same bed.  But they do occasionally snuggle in tight to pester each other at close range.

Many days to come.  Stay tuned.
