Hot Summer Fun!!


Spent the first week of my summer break with views like this on a high school pilgrimage trip to Northern Ireland with my church. Missing the peace and quiet of this place (and temperatures rarely above 60), but thrilled to be back in the Queen City with my kids and all of the summer fun that awaits this week. It's going to be a hot one, so I've listed lots of indoor fun in addition to outdoor events this week. Stay cool and make some summer memories!!

Blessings,
