Check The Calendars Before the Summer is Gone!

This time of year we start to think about all of the summer plans that probably won't get done, and try to squeeze in a few before it's too late. (Or as one of our friends, Penny, said, "This is the part of the summer when I decide that I'm a fan of year-round school." ) This last week I decided that I really did have to clean out the closets, organize the last remaining weekends, and plan one last trip.

Make sure to remember Fiesta events in your end-of-summer scheduling. I don't know about you, but I get that burned-out feeling about now. Too much free time or fun time can be hard on a family. Take the opportunity to get re-charged by being with other adoptive families, whether in deep conversation, an informative workshop, or a relaxing time at the lake. Regions 3 and 5 are both having movie nights next week, and during the first weeks of August, several parent chat groups and classes will be meeting across the state. Bring your fishing poles to the lake on August 14 for a region 4 activity, or run up to Gallup for ice cream on the 21st. If you're in the East Mountains, watch for events starting in your area, beginning with a pool party on August 22. Click the orange web address under the Twitter information to the left to navigate to our website to see all of the details for your area. And if you have an idea, or want more information on your particular region, give a call to any family contact...we'd love to talk to you!
