My kids have been back at school for one whole week already! I guess that means summer is officially over. Where did it go?
I thought I'd include my annual "heading off to the first day of school photo."
In memory of another great summer here is my..."What I love about Summer" list:
- Dirty feet that mean my kids have been running around...like kids
- Slicing through the cool waters of Lake Okoboji as I dive off the dock
- The sound of baseball on TV
- Sitting with my husband on our deck with a glass of wine listening to Delilah (honestly my husband's choice)
- The smell of fresh cut grass
- Jenni -- our "babysitter".
- Fresh tomatoes and mozzarella salad
- The family road trip -- where memories are made.
- A cool breeze coming through my window as I sleep
- The sound of crickets in the night air
- Catching fireflies in a jar
- Campfires
- Eating a meal that I grew half of in my garden
- Full moons that light up a night walk.
- Sleeping in (This is especially true after a week of trying to get Carter and Taryn out of bed before 7am!!)
- Laughter from kids as they jump on the trampoline, run through sprinklers, swing on the swing set, run down the slip'n'slide, throw water balloons.
- Bracco's outdoor patio
- "Grandpa and Grandma" camp for a week!
- Laying in the grass and watching the clouds.
- A happy husband after a few rounds of golfing at even par. (A happy wife on the VERY occasional par on one lone hole.)
- Big sky -- from my house I can see from horizon to horizon. Some people have mountains, or forests or oceans...I have the sky!
Why does summer have to end so soon?
Oh well, at least fall is up next...and I'll have another "What I love" list. Praise God for another wonderful summer and more seasons to look forward to!
