Summer days are dwindling down fast. Daylight is getting shorter. Mornings are cooler. Trees are changing colors. While I look forward to the kids going back to school (and saving me some money for childcare), I'm not really looking forward to going back to a hectic schedule- school, work, driving the kids for after-school extra-curricular activities, doing home work and school projects.
No, I'm not ready to say goodbye to summer. But we have a ton of memories to look back to: fishing, catching frogs, running barefoot on the lawn, running through the neighbor's water sprinkler, catching fireflies at night, blowing dandelions, playing hide and seek, strolling at the beach, digging our toes in the sand, throwing frisbees, watching fireworks, riding the ferris wheel, grilling hotdogs and burgers, reading a book under the tree, taking a nap in the hammock, swinging high on the swing, camping and sleeping in a tent,
looking for cloud formations, riding a boat, swimming in the lake, skipping rocks, tubing and water skiing, sitting around the campfire, roasting marshmallows, stargazing, sharing ghost stories, jumping off a diving board, riding bikes, stopping at the ice cream shop, watching the sun set.
Fun. Simple. Relaxed. Laid-back. I love summer in Michigan!
