summer | photos

sigh...

Summer is slowly inching to a close.  Here in Virginia, school hasn't started yet so we are hanging on to every last bit of it.  This last month we have spent a lot of time swimming, hiking around local parks and swimming in the river.  The weather here is perfect for exploring.  I have a feeling we will be doing quite a bit more before school starts on the 31st.

Lakeridge Marina:


This area was so lush and green.  It was right by the lake, too, so as we took the path around we could see the water.  Just beautiful.

Leesylvania State Park:

This was the kids favorite day so far.  They are little waterbugs and enjoy every chance to get in the water.  It wouldn't be summer without throwing some burgers on the grill.  Perfection...

We are definitely having a grand summer here.  I will be completely honest and say that I am ready for fall.  I need my leggings and sweaters,  my roasted marshmallows and a fire pit with friends.  For now, here's to a few more summer adventures...  

an evening at the park

My girlies were all wound up on Saturday evening so I decided to take them to the park to run around for a bit.  The one catch was that they had to let me take a few photos.  Sneaky, right?  Well, it worked and I got them all worn out for bed.  I honestly believe that was the fastest they have ever gone to sleep on a Saturday night.  Yah me!!









I love this one in Black and White and Color so I just had to share both.
