As summer wanes and back to school emails and meetings pop up, I am faced with the same reality every year. Time to regroup mentally, celebrate the good days, and realize that I had an amazing summer.
But summer isn't over...so let us celebrate some of the good days.
Library trips - so many awesome programs. We did 5 official programs including graphic novel bingo, Tamarack animals, making sand art, glow forge ocean tiles, and even a beach in a jar. There might have been more trips but these were the big ones.
Pool visiting - two trips our local pool, one to another across town, and one visit to our cousin's pool
Lake visiting - two trips to Lake Erie so far...one with school friends and one with family!
Science Museums - One day to see the Carnegie Science Center and one night to the Buffalo Science Center. Both included visits with family!!
Family reunions - That was one busy weekend of seeing family from Minnesota, Florida, Ohio, and more places. I love re-connecting and making memories with family :)
Cape Cod - We kicked off summer with a huge trip to Cape Cod for 5.5 days in June - so much fun seeing Boston, Salem, Plymouth, Providence Town and so much more. Plus this was with FAMILY!!!
Fruit Picking - our property has the cutest strawberries in late June...then raspberries...then blackberries and cloud berries...and now ELDERBERRIES! Okay some of the elderberries grow more on our neighbors side of the "woods" but they let us pick them and make jelly with them! YUM
Plus we got to visit a co-workers peach orchard and another visit to pick blueberries.
Celebrate the 814 - Art Museum, zoo trips, children's museum (with good friends), Bicentennial Tower (with family), Land Lighthouse (with family), LOTS of playground trips, National Night Out, hikes at Headwaters, mini-golf, local theater, pirate cruise with grandma, and more!!!
I wonder why summer flew by then I think of all the fun that we packed into the summer. Here are a few pictures...I wish that I could have created a collage but I like the option of captions.
Thank you for everyone that I saw and still have a list of people that I wish that I could have seen or spent time with.
PLUS we are squeezing in a 48 hour camping trip before my first day back!!!
