Summer Fun

We have been having a ton of fun this summer!

My sister has been watching one of her former students all summer and so every Wednesday we meet up with them and have a blast just hanging out. Seryim is 9 years old and she and Emma get along so well... they just love each other!
Yesterday Seryim, Joy (our neighbor) and Emma decided to swim together in a tiny plastic pool... it was quite funny actually. :)  

We have had a very enjoyable summer in spite of the constant high temperatures. Today is the first day I have turned the A/C off since the very end of May. It has been so hot that we have not been able to be outside very much or for very long. However, every once in a while, we get a fun day outside like yesterday and spend our time playing in water, playing with bubbles, playing with neighbors or playing with friends.

I love summer and this summer has been the best one I've had in a really long time.

However

I am growing anxious for cooler weather, pumpkin spice, fall leaves, the smell of fall and the ushering in of everything warm and cozy :)  Who else is flabbergasted that it is August already?? Sheesh!
