End of summer....

We finished our last two weeks of summer with a bang!

Busy. Busy. Busy.

 

One last dip at the Gaberielson's pool.

Breck is going to miss his big buddy Ellery when she starts at the 6th grade middle school...where has time gone!

Breck attended VBS this year. It worked out perfect, as this was the week that Jerod was gone for work so it kept us both busy.

He was so excited to go and dropped off easily...

as for me,

it was so hard to leave him. Watching him be a big boy and not need his mom...oh boy, the next couple years are going to be tough when he starts preschool then kindergarten.

TIME....SLOW. DOWN.

One evening we went to visit dad in the cities while he was away for work.

We had fun going out for dinner, swimming, and sleeping in the king size bed :)

The kids had one last lemonade stand of the summer!

Ellery even provided entertainment as she "practiced" her newest hobby

playing the trumpet :)

After a summer of park going in Litchfield...

we decided to try out another park in Delano.

It was super nice and the kids had a blast!

We made our 1st and only trip to the Willmar pool,

a summer favorite that we didn't get to see much of this year!

Like always....FUN.

And on our last day of summer break...

I brought the kids to Lake George splash park in St. Cloud.

A.M.A.Z.I.N.G!

Can't wait to go back again and again.

Thinking this is what Litchfield needs instead of the dreams of a big pool/water park?!?!

Cheaper and still provides ton of entertainment for all ages :)

Then we used our money earned from our lemonade stand and WONDERFUL customers and ate lunch at Space Aliens (a first for me).

The food and atmosphere was great.

So kid friendly...and they had a blast playing games and winning some sweet prizes (a whistle that they blew all the way home...woohoo)!

Not sure if they had a blast of a summer.

but I know that I did.

Lots of fun memories with some great kids.

Good bye summer (and hopefully heat), hello fall (back to work and cooler weather)!
