Before Summer Is Over

Summer is my favorite for SO many reasons, and because of that, I don't often find the time to blog much during the summer months.
I realize that school has already started and that fall schedules are underway, but I really want to go back for a moment and share a few of my late summer favorite photos.

Family Trip to Duluth in July

The boys LOVE trains, especially this one in Two Harbors.

Playing catch with water balloons

Bug nets and bug catchers from the Dollar Store. The boys caught a lot of grasshoppers and few dragonflies.

Dakota County Fair

Swimming with Addy at Elm Creek Park

Warming up for a run around the track

Free face painting at the Como Relays

Playing in the tunnels that run under Pilot Knob Road by our house.

Swimming with Addy at the Como Pool

A visit to see Great Aunt Shirley at the nursing home.

Testing our their roller blades again

I also wanted to mention how much use we got out of our Valleyfair season passes this summer. Nine trips so far, and with the Halloween events coming up, we're sure to be there at least one more time!! On our most recent visit, a couple weeks ago, Marshall was finally tall enough, at 42 inches,  to ride 4 new rides.

Ok, now I am ready to embrace fall.
Both Brady and Logan are playing flag football this fall, so if you like football, you should come down and watch them play in a few weeks, once their games officially get started :).
