Summer, you were so good to us.

I hope our summer was not measured in days away from school, rather in...

lazy mornings reading and lazy afternoons playing

popsicles enjoyed

 bottles of sunscreen used up

 endless games of Sorry and Memory

 afternoons running through the sprinkler

moments spent barefoot

trips for frozen yogurt with our library books

after supper walks/runs/bike rides with the dogs

jumps off the diving board and afternoons at the pool

swim and dance lessons (ballet, hip-hop and jazz!)

picnics and bike rides at the Greenway

heavenly homemade iced coffees (decaf. lots of decaf.)

story times and book clubs attended

girls' only manicure-marshmallow-movie nights!

coloring, sewing skirts, painting and crafts galore

goodies mailed to Hubby

and glasses of ice cold lemonade.

I know these sweet girls have missed their Daddy tremendously. My hope is that we succeeded in having such a fun, relaxed and fabulous summer that they perhaps missed him just a little bit less. 

Summer, you were so very good to us. See you next year!
