Soaking it up...

We know all to well how cold it is going to get, and how very soon that is going to happen. So, we have been making it a point to get out every day and enjoy what sunshine and warmth is left of this summer.
We want to remember all of these beautiful destinations, so sometimes our camera tags along.
The pictures tell the tale of a few of our adventures...

- A morning stroll at Kearney Lake, and pit stop at the playground.

- Kearney Lake, and our hand holding train. (the kids insist we hold hands like this everywhere we go)

- My train lovers get a front row seat...

(this train passed this close to us on our morning walk.

This got a HUGE:

 `OH!!! MY!!! GOODNESS!!!`

from Miley.... she was yelling it beacuse the train was so loud.)

- Trips to Point Pleasant Park...

- Helene and Kingston had been gone all summer to Utah, Nebraska, and Boston.

Helene brought us back this salt water taffy from her trip to Cape Cod.

Summer days are better when our best friends are with us. The kids had a pool party and picnic while we caught up on all we had missed.

- There have been many more playdates, and playgrounds, only they`re undocumented. Our summer has been full of friends and ward family members. Birthday parties, and afternoon`s with the girls next door.

It has been one big splash! ;) Glad we enjoyed it while we could. It won`t be long intil hybernation sets in!
