It's almost over?

How can school be starting tomorrow when summer just began a few short weeks ago? Traffic is crazy again, the lines are long everywhere, and all of our babysitters are sitting in classrooms and attending sports practices, games, and tournaments. *Sigh*

We've been enjoying these last days of summer as much as possible. Last week we took a couple of the neighbor boys to a summer festival in a park. KK got to ride a choo-choo-train and play for hours. KK adores these boys and was happy as could be all day. This weekend Uncle Dave was in town on business so he came to stay with us for a day. We took him to another summer festival where he found a cool shirt that we couldn't wait to try on KK (it was a bit big...)! It was fun to hang out, laugh, talk about our upcoming 20 year class reunion (or lack of one?), and generally catch up with each other.

KK, Daddy, and I have also gone swimming a bunch since most of the pools will be closing this week. All of the lifeguards are back in school so even though it's still hotter than he!!, they have to close the pools...what ever happened to school starting after Labor Day???

Oh well, we'll take what we can get and enjoy summer as long as we can! I only wish we could go to MN for the State Fair. Now THAT is the appropriate way to finish out the summer! Maybe next year...
