As I look back at my posts, it looks like we didn't do much this summer.
Actually, we did a ton and I was just too busy to
write about it!
These last couple of weeks we have worked on
squeezing the last bit of fun out of summer.
We made a trip to the Science Center with the Keplingers,
the zoo with the Liskey kids, bowling with the Twedts and Liskeys
and swimming with the Wurths.
Add that to our usual playdates and games of kick the can,
we have been very busy.
The girls always love a trip to the zoo, and
it doesn't get any better than with our best friends!

| Aves kept her eye on those grabby swans! |
 |
| I love this picture. The girls look so grown up! |
Next was a trip to the local Waukee Warriors bowling alley.
We have some pretty serious bowlers in our midst!
 |
| Avery really did have more fun that it looks like! |
I hate to admit it, but our aquatic center season passes
didn't get quite as much use this year as in the past, but
we still enjoyed it. Our last day there was a bit cool,
which allowed us to have the place to ourselves!

First time ever - I sat and read a bit instead of
following Avery around. Quite a treat! |
As summer is coming to an end I have a lot to be thankful for.
We had a great summer. Relaxing, enjoyable, fun.
We had some great trips: Grammy/Dad/Claire to DC and
all of us out to Yellowstone.
We had lots of sleepovers, lots of friends and lots of adventures.
I enjoyed being home all summer, doing nothing but playing
with the girls and relaxing.
I'm grateful for our wonderful home, our great neighbors,
our loving family and our amazing friends.
I am grateful for my family. I am so proud of my girls
and so in love with my husband.
Doesn't get any better than that!
Now.... bring on fall, football and a school schedule!!
