Summer is Done

Summer has come to a close. We had a nice summer and spent lots of time with one another. I loved seeing the girls hang out together and laugh and entertain themselves. We had some really fun highlights this summer that I hope we don't forget:

• The Darius Rucker concert
• Going to the beach with the girls
• Trip to Mississippi with John and our friends the Kings
• Lily and Shelly organizing closets, bedrooms, anything they can get their hands on
• Pottery painting
• Busch Gardens with Krissy and Aunt Linny
• Visits from our family
• Boating and tubing at Smith Mountain Lake
• Days at the pool with friends
• Our trip to Ikea and Charlotte
• Boone and the Linville Caverns
• Cherry picking
• Pretzel making
• Decorating the girls' bedrooms
• Root beer making
• Hair videos by Shelly
• Cultivating our little garden
• Scrapbooking our memories from the summer

Lots of memories and tons of fun. It was a happy summer and now we are ready for a Fall filled with cooler temps, pumpkin treats, football games, and a little more structure.
