Come Back Summer!

As much as I absolutely LOVE Fall, I feel like we got a little jipped on summer this year. Maybe it was that I was home with a newborn for a lot of it, or that we were preparing for MBA school (more on that later), or that the mosquitos/heat made it so we couldn't even go outside. Whatever the reason, I am so bummed that summer is coming to a close.
We did however, have a lot of fun this summer. We didn't do anything extravagant or go anywhere far away, but what made this summer so great was that we took care of the typical "musts" of summertime - the things that make summer, summer. And we did it together. 

Summer "Musts"

1. Keeping cool in water of any form - check.
2. Eating your weight in popsicles and ice cream - check .
3. Expressing yourself with colorful graffiti - check.
4. Learning to ride a bike - check.
 
5. Building castles of sand - check.
6. Getting dizzy rolling down green hills - check.
 
7. Becoming a cowboy for a night - check.
8. ...or a superhero - check.
9. Relaxing at the cabin in the mountains - check.
10. Playing with friends for hours on end - check.
We had the best time together, doing some of our favorite things. Yet again, as the summer is ending, I am reminded by my boys that it is the simplest of things that make life so full and sweet. Now bring on Fall!
