With my oldest having just finished Kindergarten this year, I find myself having to be more vigilant about planning our summer days and activities.

This past Memorial Day weekend was spent, for the third year in a row, serving at what has become THE biggest, brightest, and best family music fest IN. THE. COUNTRY. Seriously. No joke.
