Picnics at the lake & baseball games…
…the red hot fire’s dancing flames.
The owey gooey goodness of smores…

Catching little fish with corn on a hook…

Dirty little children are sure to be found…
…looking at fluffy cotton candy clouds while laying on the ground.
Watching butterflies come out of their cocoon…
…waking up to the sound of loons.
Picking strawberries so red & sweet…
…learning to tube was such a treat.
Warm breezes blowing through the screen…

Staying up way too late…
…using wiggly worms for bait.
Kissing my cousin on a boat ride…
…eating at the fair where the food is fried.
Little girls with attitude & buzzed cut little boys…

Riding bikes & kick the can…

Walks in the woods to see what we can find…

These last days of summer we will enjoy…

Acorns falling from the tree’s…
…very soon we will be raking leaves.
The nights are growing cooler & school is about to start…
…lets enjoy these last moments before summer departs.

wonderful verse...so much fun and wonderful pics...that is an awesome summer!
What a heavenly summer! Every child should experience summer's of dirty faces, freedom, and fun like this!
I'd forgotten that having little kids over the summer means you have to have fun times with them. Now, with no one to entertain, I don't do all that stuff any more. Maybe next year I will any way.
VERY cute post. Love the photos and the poem.
Lucky little munchkins at your end of the world, Lori. :)
Oh, what a wonderful, wonderful post, Lori!
You should write a children's book. You should! :)
There are so many people in your house and in your life that your summer was filled to the brim with fun and love. Good for you.
This was thoroughly enjoyable. I feel so much love coming through these photos. And your female Little.. she's a wee ham.. a delightful wee ham.
What fun!! Seriously.
This makes me want my Summer soo bad!
Have a wonderful day..
