The kids had a busy last weekend of summer vacation!
The farmer across the street from their other grandparents’ house hosts a small-craft fly-in & car show every year… and this year, the kids (except Davy) took flight!
Davy helped Grandpa (with an assist from Ali) fix his bike chain so it wouldn’t keep falling off…
…and then we had the last sleepover of the summer.
There are plenty of lovely, summery days ahead (I’m sure of it! and we’ll enjoy every minute of it), but there’s nothing like the first day of school to put a bookend on summer!
It sure went fast.
Meanwhile, still fighting the plague (allergy?), I took a couple of naps over the weekend, but also did a lot of sewing/beading, and started a new crochet project. Did I mention that Addie’s blanket is completely finished? Ends woven in, washed & dried, and ready for delivery in a couple of weeks when Kate & I make another quick trip to MN. I’m still working out the details of the new project, but it’s worsted granny squares, so it’ll go a little quicker. One of my best repeat Airbnb customers gave me some yarn last winter, and I feel obligated to use it… so this is what I’ve come up with. Maybe a photo soon?

Looks like a great weekend, Vicki, with lots of fun and adventure. (Well. Except for the plague/allergy issues. Those are Never Fun.) I hope the kids had a great start to the school year today. XO
Those kids know how to get their money’s worth out of the last hurrah of summer! Love the shot of Davy in the sleeping bag — that kid really knows how to mug for the camera!
If there is fun to be had, it’s happening at your house! Hope you’re feeling better and the grands had a great first day of school.
I love the photo of Davy helping with the bike chain! Such serious concentration! I am hoping that this is a good school year for everyone! XO
School for sure puts a bookend on the summer, no matter what the calendar (or the thermometer!) says… that last photo is stunning … you really captured a thoughtful moment for both of them and I love the expression on Ginny’s face.
You’ve really nailed the feeling of summer and how it definitely has less to do with the weather and more to do with back-to-school that makes it feel over. I’m still clinging to every last drop of summer over here, though!
