Farewell Summer

Farewell mining for small, insignificant specs of gemstones.....


Farewell bouncy castle....

Farewell bungy trampoline jumping....

Farewell chairlift riding....

Farewell alpine slide racing....(Sam's hard to beat)

Farewell summit of hike skinny dipping (only Henry)

Farewell sandbox (probably not for a few more months. Darn it).

Farewell rodeo Sam....

Farewell barrel racing cowgirl...

Farewell bull rider....

Farewell rodeo watchers...
Farewell grandma's peas...

Farewell lake buddies....

Farewell skiing Sam....

Farewell skiing Seth.... (that's me in the water behind him. But neither he nor Sam need me to steady them anymore)

Farewell tubers....


Farewell boat drivers....

See you next year!

Love seeing those skiers. We start school this Thursday so we are bidding farewell to summer too.

It looks like you had a really fantastic summer. It's sad that it's over, but so much to look forward to next year, right?

Gosh, it'd be hard for anyone to say goodbye to all that fun. But, it's more the prospects of Middle School than anything that have me mourning summer's end. I'm not good at goodbye's.

Seth and Sam, I'm seriously impressed with your skiing. Awesome!

Fun pics! Sad though....

Fun summer! Good luck with the beginning of school. We are going to live up our last week! :)

this is such a fun summer wrap up! i fear mine would read something like this: farewell interminable carpool drive to camp; farewell play practice every night of the week; farewell cranky hotel guests...

wow. i have come to realize that i just don't do summer. that needs to be remedied!!

What a clever, clever post. I love the way you wrapped this up in a bow and tied it with a knot.

Way to go Seth and Sam, I'm so proud of them for skiing! They look good!
Looks like you've been having fun.

It looks like you guys have had a lot of fun. I refuse to bid farewell to our too brief summer. I will stay in denial.

I hope you had a Happy Birthday too!! Sorry this b-day wish is late.

School days...I'm not a fan.

Lisa said...

That looks like so much fun!

Love the photos. Looks like you had a wonderful summer. I need to get back and read the nitty gritty of your blog (to see if I can find out where you did the sled slolum activity - my boys would love that).

Also, I was so sure you had reviewed the Guernsey Lit & Pot Peel Pie Society book that I popped in to view your review. I feel like I have nothing new to say about a book loads of people are talking about.

I am not ready to say bye. It went to fast and I didn't live it up enough! But it is what it is!

(And how much do I love that you specified that it was only Henry skinny dipping!)
