I Shouldn't Judge You But I Will

Oh, I'm pretty sure I know why they are being all distant now. They don't have their summer planned yet, and they don't want us to be putting them in a position to make plans now. They want to travel at some point too, and might want to be gone in August. Plus they have one set of parents there now for several weeks, so they are probably sick of house guests right now and can't stand the idea of having more, even though in August they would probably feel differently.

It was bad timing on our part to mention it with them now, but the summer camp deadlines are this week, so that's when it came up for us. We don't need to finalize plans for a while, so we'll let it marinade for a bit.

I appreciate all your offers! If we do go, I'd love to meet you, Sundae.

A very close second choice would be to go up to Maine and go camping with my parents. Our kids are old enough now that I can take them on my favorite hike in the world. Climbing up a mountain with a lake on top for swimming and tons of wild blueberries to feast upon. Here's a picture of me and my younger siblings scrounging for blueberries.

TIL that marinade can be used as a verb.
