final weeks of summer

The final few weeks of summer went by in a blur, as they always seem to do. The kids soaked up every minute of sunshine and time outside as they could - we ventured to new parks across the city as well as nearby, went on long bike rides, attended our local city fair as well as the State Fair, rode on rides, ate fair food, and Anna & Emmett spent several days at "Camp Oshkosh" leaving mom and dad home to enjoy some quiet and time for house projects.

Spending nearly a week at Nana and Papa's was a great way to round out the summer for these two munchkins as they had time to go on boat rides, fish (Anna caught many, many fish!), play at parks and with new friends and more. It was a treat for all of us!

We certainly got the most out of our summer this year...and while we are sad to see it end, a new chapter begins yet again with another year of school and new activities around the corner!
