The Way I View Summer Life ~ Clickin Mom

This year, I am trying something a little different.  I am a member of Clickin' Moms, an online forum for mom's who love photography.  There are amateurs and pros there, always willing to share what they have learned.  This year there is a 12 month challenge.  It is "The Way I View ______".
This month is Summer Life.

Summer for us is vacation and family time.  As teachers, 10 months of the year are focused on our students and making sure they succeed while trying to balance family life.  Summer is full of breaking down our classrooms, changing classrooms (at least this year), trainings, meetings, doctor appts., family life, trainings, meetings, and putting back together our classrooms.  We try to focus on our family life as much as we can.  This month has been more family then work but there was work thrown in between.  Here is a quick recap of the month of July.  It has been super busy so there is lots to share.

One surprise this month is that I was actually in pictures.  I am trying to teach my husband how to use my camera but we have lots of lessons to go.  At least it is easy to take pictures with my iPhone up close.
