Summer Recap



I always feel a little sad when summer is over.  While it doesn't mean the start of school in my house (yet!), it does mean that the days of swimming and lightening bugs are over.  My sadness quickly fades when I remember that my favorite time of year is near. 

 

I get downright giddy when I think about fall.  This year is even more exciting because it will be Katherine's first fall season.  Her Halloween costume is already in the works, and I can't wait to prop her up next to some pumpkins for her first pumpkin patch photo.  I mean, I probably won't be able to sleep tonight just thinking about it. 

 

But before I usher in the next season, here's a recap of our summer favorites in photos (in no particular order):
