Farewell to Summer

September 1, 2008 by Jen

Is it me or does school seem to be starting extra early this year? I know, September 1st is a Monday so the long-weekend is early but still. I think because we had such rainy weather here in July and the last two weeks have been gorgeous (mid twenties and sunny) that I kinda feel like summer should be extended.

I had a fabulous summer with my kids and am really not ready to have them go back to school. I could use another week or two. I remember a few years ago when they were a bit younger and by mid-August I couldn’t wait for school to start but now I’m going to really miss them!

Well, for our final hurrah my gang took full advantage of the beautiful weather and the last long-weekend before we hunker back down into the routine of school and hockey…and more hockey 😉

Here’s how we spent our final weekend of summer. How about you?

    those are great pics, Jen. i’m finding it hard to let go of summer too esp with the fab weather we’ve been having. feels too weird dropping them at school in the blazing sun. i came home yesterday and cried because the house felt so empty.

    Wow! What a great weekend and such great pics. Love the crazy swinging (and can you believe a trampoline is supposed to be too dangerous?). What a wonderful send-off to summer. Wouldn’t you rather have all those beautiful, sweet memories rather than being sick of your kids and dying for school to start?
    These are the golden memories that we will treasure in our old age.
