State Fair


Well, it's over..
the summer...
not the end of the world...
I know...I know..
But still I am bummed.
Today was my first day back...
and boy it was hard.

What's worse to think of is...
what happens next week...
the big day...
the day of drama...
the day of tears...
hopefully not mine...

the start of the big K...
 I am in denial...
checked out from reality...
so instead of dwelling on what is around the corner...
i'd rather focus on the last day of summer fun.

It was a family day...
a day of many steps...
many sights...
and many treats.

Enjoy!

Why is it?

When I give my kids finger-paints they do this?


  


  
 See what I mean?





Seems like a family artistic trend...

Scenes from the Lake



Once again our vacation up north was a memorable time 
 full of family, food and fun.

We stayed cool amidst the sweltering heat by
taking boat rides and enjoying the beach.

Multiple trips to the ice cream shop some days in place of lunch
brought joy to many...especially a little sweet boy.

All of us were sad to leave and some (little girls) are already dreaming
 of going again next year.

Here are some of the highlights!
