Fall Is Almost Here...

8:13 pm - 62 degrees - smoky...

The nights are getting colder, the mornings are getting darker, the kids have gone back to school, and tomorrow the rain is supposed to return! 

Where did summer go? 

Weeks turned into months in the blink of an eye, and before I knew it, the kids were back in school and we’re busy running everyone around to soccer and volleyball practice.

Summer was extremely busy, and we didn’t even get anything done on or around the house. Tony spent the summer helping our neighbor build a 3,000+ sqft tree deck for their daughter’s wedding.  The tree deck and the wedding were both absolutely amazing!!
  

Even though everyone was really busy this summer, we did manage to sneak in some fun here and there.

The kids were constantly catching critters.


We went berry picking several times and canned some freezer jam.



We went hiking, canoeing, camping and fishing.


And we made several quick trips to the Long Beach Peninsula for more fun and surf fishing.

They caught a crab while surf fishing for perch!
The crab grabbed the bait and didn't want to let get.
They let it go after we got a quick picture.





Although I love the warmth and sunshine of summer, and everything that goes with it, I am really happy fall is almost here.
