The Last Days of Summer

We asked the kids what they still wanted to do before summer was over, and you can see what the answer was: the zoo, swimming with the WHOLE family (that means they want Papa to come), golfing, and a few other things. We even had a some cool days in the last few weeks to actually enjoy the zoo and the farm! Tomorrow is the big back-to-work/school day, so I guess it's over. It has been a fun summer, however. I hope the kids enjoyed being home."This is the sunflower tall and bright that grows in our garden day and night." (quote from one of T's favorite books--and the flower is really in our garden)

Sophie at the farm. I think she is just about too long for the infant seat, so you'll be seeing her in a new arrangement pretty soon.
The farm is full of cute little babies right now. Thys, Anna, and Mom especially liked the baby of the minature horse. The all time favorite at the farm yesterday was the turtle in the duck pond. The kids watched it for a good 15 minutes!
We took Papa to the zoo for the first time. He had a good time with all the thousands of other dads who got to go on the coolest Saturday this summer.

Minature golfing--Thys has a wicked swing, and Anna has Grandpa J.'s golfing gene!

Cute pictures. Thysie looks so grown up with his cute little haircut. We need to come see the kids - maybe Sophie will have forgotten that I am that lady she gets left with - but probably not!

Isn't it amazing that summer is "over", you're back to work and your baby is 7 (or 8) months old??? Time goes so fast!
