It is 5 x 7 but I went a little bananas and I have "stuff" (because yes I included every single scrap of our summer in here) sticking out of the top, the bottom and the side! I LOVE it! Honestly our summer was bananas-it was the twins first summer vacation from school and we jammed it packed with so much why should my "mini" be any different!
So here is a look at a few pages-by golly it's not even half of them!
Posing in front of the green screen produced this pic at our trip to the aquarium-season passes came in handy to beat the heat this summer! The hidden tag has journaling about our visit.
Father's Day at First Landing State Park (excuse this horrible pic-the real life pic they are not anywhere near that darkened out!)
Ocean Breeze Water Park the postcard has journaling on the back
I ordered a 4 x 6 collage print from Walgreen's just to include several photo's from our day
Swimming at the Y
Ice cream social at the library-the cones were their name tags-I glued them front to back and punched them in
Chuck E Cheese on July 3rd with pals while waiting for the fireworks-had to include one of many of these "sketches" we got that night
Don't tell my kids I stole a couple of tickets!
Keeping cool by the pool
This has been called our retro Three's Company pic because of the various 1970's shades of pool wear at Water Country USA
Summer wreath pic is "matted" on the packaging from those little button paper clips!
Bringing some "twinkies" cheer to our injured hero "fire fighter girl"
Braden hits the jackpot!
Aquabatics at Water Country USA & Daddy's new work "toy"
Date night
$ Tree had four rolls of BRIGHT sticky tape-I had to scoop them up they were perfect for journaling in this album
This is hard. Our family lost a very young member after a courageous battle with cancer. Three battles with cancer in his three short years. We were unable to head to NY to attend the services so we released a Sponge Bob (Drake's favorite) balloon in honor of him.
Like me my kids haven't met a mall photo booth they don't like! They can spot them miles away! I put in the mall directory because I figure even just a year from now there will be major changes-there is always is.
Our favorite place on earth! Great Wolf Lodge-end of summer trip there to meet up with the boys grandparents-another Walgreen's photo collage
Final date night of the summer-Cinema Cafe...you can enjoy a movie and a drink at the same time!

Oh my gosh...your mini is heartwarming. I adore the stories you shared, even the tough ones. And I love that you included tickets and mall brochures. One day, the boys will look back at it and the Sponge Bob and the bathing suits and have a good laugh and wonderful memories of a great family summer adventure that you and your husband made possible for them.
Just perfect!
