Tomorrow is the first day of school and just like that, our summer comes to a close. I don't really like heat, more specifically humidity, so summer hasn't ever been my favorite season. This year was different. We got out. We explored. We relaxed. We enjoyed summer. I enjoyed summer. Maybe it's the ages the kids are at or maybe it's the fact that we now have our own backyard? Whatever it was, I'm happy to have finally enjoyed summer, despite the heat ;)
I didn't get on the actual computer much this summer so here is a glimpse of our adventures the past few months!
 |
| Enjoying having our very own backyard! |
 |
| Our private island in the Apple River! Our elderly neighbor has been gracious enough to allow us to use his yard (which is riverfront property) to access this little island and explore whenever we want! |
 |
| We went to three library programs this summer! Touch-a-Truck, the MN ZOOmobile and "The Frog Guy!" |
 |
| Boating on Pipe Lake! |
 |
| Backyard camping over the fourth of July! |
 |
| Wildlife! |
 |
| Polk County Fair! |

We enjoyed our summer but we are ready for fall! We are ready to fall back into the routines that come with having a child in school. We thrive on routine but it is just so darn hard for us to adhere to even a loose schedule during the summer! Tomorrow the schedule returns and we will spend a few weeks figuring out our new routines for the academic year. And I suppose it won't be long before we are all longing for summer 2016 to arrive :)
