It always seems the really interesting activities all happen on the same day. And it's usually on a day I already have a commitment I can't change.

Take for instance Saturday, June 18.

The MaineGames Orienteering event at Pineland Farms, one of only a handful of competitive orienteering events in Maine, is coming up. When? June 18.

Then there's a geocachers "get together" in Litchfield to do some chatting about finding caches and having some fun with other people who enjoy the sport. When? June 18.

But we've got a dance recital marathon that weekend (Friday dress rehearsal and then two nights of shows - Saturday, June 18 and Sunday). And then there's G.'s violin recital. When you ask? June 18!

So busy families everywhere - I feel your scheduling pain, especially during the month of June!
