The Last Day Before School

To celebrate the last day before we start school this year we went to a new beach spot, Lake Luzerne, with our friends. MiniM.E. has been a bit sentimental this year about not being able to see her friends while they are in school. In reality, none of her close friends actually go to the elementary school she would go to anyway, but I think she feels the separation more because we still see her friends' moms and siblings throughout the year while they are at school. So MiniM.E. was very glad to have one last day with one of her best friends before school starts again.

Oh, And I Almost Forgot...

One More Summer Weekend in NH

Soaking Up the Last Rays of Summer

It's hard to believe that September and the start of school are just around the corner. Our busy summer flew by!

We have been trying to enjoy some of our favorite summer activities we haven't had a chance to do yet this year.

We met some friends at our former favorite playground.

We finally made it back up to Moreau Lake after the scare of parasites and algae blooms finally waned.

This weekend we'll head back to NH for one last summer weekend swimming at Gram and Grumpy's.

Meamaw and Grandpa's Summer Visit

Meamaw and Grandpa came to visit Thursday and stayed through the weekend. The past couple summers we spent a week away at a lake house, but this year a few hiccups (and a mischievous toddler) kept us close to home instead.

We've exhausted all the fun places to go nearby so we decided to mostly stick close to home with lots of doll playing, BabySlimJim watching and a trip to the hotel pool for some swimming.

We did manage to get downtown to walk the streets, see the tourists and ride the carousel.

We dragged Meamaw and Grandpa to Huck Finn's Playland- a trip we've promised the girls for weeks.

And we made it to (bring your own) breakfast to the track.

Thanks for coming Meamaw and Grandpa! We had a great visit!

Some Silly Kids

Summer Fun With The Playgroup

With swimming over, trips to take, long weekends away, camps to go to and other summer obligations, even though the playgroup moms got to get together in NYC, the kids haven't seen much of each other. We had to make an effort to get together for a playgroup date. We picked downtown because that used to be our go to playdate: Ducks and (Star)Bucks.
