Well, it is almost here. Trent and I have checked the school supply list twice to make sure we have everything he needs. His school has open house on Friday and on Monday he will start 1st grade. Last year I spent this week beating myself up because of all those summer plans I had that never happened.
This year I asked both boys what one thing they wanted to do with the last weeks of summer. Trent wanted to go to a local park and ride Go-Karts with Brad. Ian wanted to go to the beach. So, last week the boys went go-karting while I took pictures. Then last Monday my friend Meg and I took our boys to Greenbriar State Park where there is a lake and a sandy beach.
I feel like we have been able to do a lot of different things this summer. The boys spent a lot of time swimming, we camped out, we went to the beach, Trent went to day camp, we played outside, played in the park, did fireworks, caught lightening bugs, had cookouts, went to gymnastics open gym, had swim lessons, and had time to just hang around the house and play. We even cleaned out a few closets this weekend! On Sunday we will make ice cream and cook hot dogs and smores over the fire in the back yard. (That was my pick!)
It has been a very hot and dry summer for us with temperatures in the upper 90's and low 100's since mid-July. Brad has only mowed the grass once since Trent's birthday party on June 19th. In that respect I am looking forward to some cooler crisp air. I will miss our more laid back summer schedule, but I know that we will settle into the routine quickly. I am also looking forward to the best part of fall. Football Season.
