Is it Summer Yet?

I asked that question, because my children finished school 2 weeks ago and it seems as if we have been busy ever since.
We went away to South Carolina for a RC flight festival. (My husband's hobby) We camped one night in our popup camper and stayed in hotel the other 2. Our night in the popup was a lot of fun! I am ready to pack it up and head off again.
On night #3 of our mini-vaca, none of us (my husband's family) could decide where to eat. With 14 of us, (adults and children) it is hard to get in any resturant. So, we chose Ryan's....By the time we got there, I was starving! So, I quickly got my food and started to devour it. Well, in my haste to get eatin', I choked. Not just the cough and it goes on down choke, but the "my face is turning red and blue and I can't breathe" choke. My sister-in-law leapt into action and started the hiemlich. When nothing happened, she started yelling for someone to help. A Ryan's waitress came and started the hiemlich again...the rest was a blur.....I was whisked away to the bathroom and the staff called 911....After I vomitted a lot, the paramedics determined it was stuck in my esophagus....I was in extreme pain but not in any life threatening danger. I expelled the huge piece of steak later...(Yes, cheap steak was the culprit) Very scary for me and everyone involved.
After arriving home from that relaxing (not really) vacation, we came back to rush straight into our coop's end of the year picnic, our coop's book sale, taking the car for repairs, choir practice, small group, singing on the praise team Sat. and Sunday at church, Mem. picnic with in-laws, keeping a friend's kids for 5 hours, and then here we are at today...Yes, an activity for everyday since May 21st...So that's why I ask, is it summer yet? You know, the relaxing lazy days of summer?
