Summer is slipping away....

I can hardly believe the summer is over. School at the local elementary school starts tomorrow. The buses did their test drives all day today. I can almost remember how it felt as a student, knowing that I would have to go back to class...I don't miss those times, that is for sure.

Well, we had a great day today. We spent a lot of time playing in the water table outside as well as constantly looking up in the sky at the Apache helicopters that kept flying overhead. They must have passed by 20+ times. They flew so low, the noise shook the house. Nicolas loved it! He waved every time! I told him that if he yelled "hi" they would come back...they usually did!

We had a great dinner with our good friends the Peffly's...a nice dinner on the deck. A good way to end the summer.

We also have a full moon tonight. It is lighting up the sky like you wouldn't believe. I am going to try to stay up for the lunar eclipse...but that isn't until 3am...I kinda hope I am asleep!

I am going to share some recent pics...that is all for now!

I had to get the pic, but I was running for support as soon as I was finished...

Victory...I made it to the top!

...and back down again!

Our trip to Manhattan Beach....

And of course we celebrated Daddy's Birthday! (32!!)
