Things have been hectic this summer. The business is doing okay-ish. I have flurries of rentals and then down times. I guess it's just the way this business will be.
I have learned a lot this year about the business and it is definitely growing. I've started venturing into corporate style events. I've provided bike rentals at a conference in April, and I have held two different team-building bike rides this summer. With each event, I have learned more and more and I feel more confident about doing these events with each one.
The hard part of the summer was doing all this with the boys around. They had their camps and stuff, but nothing was longer than 3 1/2 hours so it was a real trick getting them places and getting them picked up on time, all the while keeping my business stuff on track.
Now, we're in the last week of summer. Where did the time go? We had a couple weeks of soccer camps, a few weeks of vacation bible school, a week of cub scout camp, a family camping trip, a visit from Grandma, swim lessons, birthday parties, and countless other adventures. I guess we really did a lot! In between all this, I had the best months for my business in July and August. No wonder I'm tired!
Still, it has been fun. The boys are growing fast, and I've gotten to spend a lot of time with them. Most of the time it's a lot of fun and they are great kids! This past week or so, though, they've been a lot more fidgety and have gotten themselves in trouble a lot more. I find them getting bored and looking for "fun" things to do, like launching their stuffed animal across the house.
So, I guess it's time! Time for school. Time for all of us to get back into the routine. It's been a great summer, but we're all looking forward to the break we'll get from each other!
