I think I've mentioned before how fast this summer is going!
Maybe it's the heat, maybe it's having Kevin home more, maybe just the long days and the hope that it will go on forever.
Kevin starts back to school tomorrow, and while there's still a month until the official end of summer and almost 2 weeks until Labor Day, the unofficial end of summer, around here it feels like today is the end. :-/
August has been a blast doing little things here and there, including a lot of swimming and some parks.
Enter random photo dump...

We met my one friend and 2 of her boys at the splash park

Of course Logan played on the slides |
|
Then A had to show him how the big boys do it |
|
All the boys were a little unsure of the water |
|
Splish... |
|
splash! |
|
The 2 babies conspiring... |
Logan also got to go to his first friend birthday party! His buddy Elisha turned 1! I couldn't get the camera to get the right white balance inside, so I apologize now for the crappy photos.

Sorry buddy, they are too fast for you! |
|
We attended a murder mystery dinner the other night...so much fun that it needs it's own post |
Last night we had a bonfire* and had some neighbors over that we've gotten to know really well this summer. Their kids are always outside looking for Logan to come play, and as soon as Logan hear's them playing he's grabbing me and dragging me outside. It's cute :-)
|
They created a dirt pile around a tree outback |
|
Hours of fun I tell ya |
|
First we had dinner outside |
|
Pretty salad |
|
Logan liked the potatoes |
|
Then the fire started... |

Chocolate yumminess |

|

|
So they had story time on the swing. I was surprised Logan lasted through almost 2 books! |
We are so blessed to have such great neighbors!
*I call it a bonfire, Kev says it's more of a campfire since it's contained in a small metal-thingy and doesn't get big. Whatever, bonfires sound more fun :-)
