July, already? Bring On the Fun!

I simply can't believe that the month of July begins next week. Next week??? Wasn't it just yesterday that I noted (half with excitement and half with dread) that I had three whole months of summer vacation with my three kids? Now, a full month has already come and gone. But there is so much to do in the ultimate summer month of July, and I for one am already lickin' my chops for our family's annual 4th of July weekend celebration.
