We finished out our summer with a BANG. The weather was incredible – I always forget what a fantastic month September is. Entirely under-rated. Nature’s best surprise.
Some of our September events are worth remembering, especially as it has started raining non-stop (writing from the end of October):
1. We reveled in the outdoors! We celebrated birthdays and the last days of preschool. We rode bikes as often as possible. We played in the park with friends. AND we completely redid our back patio, took a leap of faith by deconstructing the too-small deck and replaced it with stones and grass joints. It worked! The grass grew in, and it really softens what is otherwise a pretty hardscaped patio.
2. Dean started kindergarten! He is one excited boy. He couldn’t wait for this day, and he has hit the ground running! Dean’s learning so much, his brain is tired by the end of the day! He has never slept better. Still up at the crack of dawn, but that’s another story… Fiona was excited on his first day. She wanted to ride her bike to school with me and Dean too.
3. We returned to Lost Lake! An end-of-summer treat! Our first tent-camping experience after a five-ish year hiatus. We went with open eyes, having camped with a nine-month old before, and our eyes pretty much stayed open all night with three kids in the tent. But going with friends made the sacrifice of sleep worth it. And look at this stunning view! The kids all truly enjoyed themselves. So we will be back.
