summer is coming to an end.

I can't believe that we are here at the end of summer.  I feel like the kids just got out of school for the year.  I feel kind of bad because in my mind I had all of these wonderful day trips planned during the weekends, but we ended up putting our kids in football, which conditioning started in June.  It's ok though because the summer isn't over yet.  However, now with pro-football back on, looks like Sunday's might even be out for day trips.

Well, even though we might have not done much this summer, I still feel like the kids had a great time.  We were able to do a couple of things and we made the most of it.  I'm happy that my boys did have football to keep them busy this summer because it kept them off of the video games and kept them active.  That's always a bonus. :)

We did make it to the zoo this summer.  That's one of my favorite places to go, especially if the animals are out and are active.  We decided to actually buy a zoo membership this time because we tend to go a few times a year and for all of us to get in once was the cost of a zoo membership.  So... that only made sense.  We took one of the kids' friend's with us and we even rode on the camels. So fun!

During the 4th of July weekend, we had made our way to Pacific beach with our friends to spend the long weekend, camping, and ended it with a fireworks display at my parents house.



 

I know that we still have almost a month left of summer, so I am sure we will be able to squeeze in a few more days of fun.  What I'm looking forward to most of all, is Fall.  We tend to do a lot more activities during September, October.  We usually go to a Seahawks game, head up the Apple Cider Mill, the pumpkin patch, and go on an annual photo trip along one of the rivers to take pictures of the Fall follage.  Anyway, enjoy the rest of your summer!
