It feels a little bit like as the years go by, our summers get busier instead of easier and more relaxed in one sense. Its conflicting, because the boys are pretty self sufficient, which means that we do have much more time to enjoy things together and for them to enjoy their independence. But, we also try to push more into the summer months, to squeeze as much as we possibly can into those beautiful Minnesota days. If you've read anything of my summer musings in the blog, you know that the summer is my favorite. Its all smiles, sunshine, sandcastles, bike rides, state fairs, and camping. Its the sun going down late and sleeping in. Its playing lakeside, taking adventures, and eating on the back porch. Its glorious really.
This summer was no different. We squeezed it all in. Two camping trips. Two lakehouse trips (thats a separate set of posts, of course). A trip to Hawaii, many other adventures on nearly every single weekend. We finished the deck (hooray!), Owen took off on two wheels (hooray!) and we soaked in sunshine like it was going out of style.
Summer makes my heart soar mostly- I get to spend time with the boys, we get to do fun things outside and they get to build memories that will hopefully last a lifetime. So, without further ado, here's our summer in photos:
