While still not officially fall, the schedule has moved on. Gone are the lazy days of parks and late bedtimes. It was our best summer yet as a family. I conquered my 'summer-no-schedule-angst.' It helped that the kids where old enough to walk, talk and feed themselves. So, a review is in order.
Trips to a local pool.
We visited a nearby children's museum a few times. Enjoying a much appreciate Chipotle burrito as well.
Mornings at the park...we even tried a few new ones.
Blogs.
My husband showed up for a brief stint on the church softball team and we enjoyed the social time afterward.
Facebook.
We celebrated 4th of July by decorating our bikes and riding around a friend's neighborhood. We watched fireworks together out of the back of our car.
A trip to MI was a welcome change of pace. It even turned out to be fun.
Naps.
We spend a weekend with family in IA.
Books.
I wrote notes and connected with people.
All five of us headed to MN for some time:
celebrating my 37th birthday with those dearest to me
racing turtles
playing in the sand
gathering up mementos
snooping around run down houses
walking The Point
remembering why I get so homesick some days
The kids and I enjoyed lunches at various local restaurants.
We prepared for preschool.
I fiddled with medications and doctors.
On to fall..while we did summer well, it is good to be back.

Wait - we are still going to the park..well, that's really about all except for the random library trips when we have the car and reading so many books over and over again I might need glasses. A GREAT summer for sure......but it's still ok to go to the park :-)
Yeah, we've been to the park, too. Just not EVERY day for as long as we all want to stay. Schedules, man, got to keep on them. :)
