Summer Days


I have to be honest about something. All of these 'fall' posts on social media are killing me. Just stop with them already. It's still August! I absolutely love a good fall festival and some cute fall boots, but summer is my favorite. Period. Right about now every year I see the fall countdowns begin and pictures of pumpkin spice latte's everywhere and it drives me crazy. Maybe it's because I live in Ohio and fall is a reminder of the worst season ever closing in on us, or maybe it's because I could live in 95 degree weather all year and cherish the sun. Whatever the reason, I refuse to acknowledge and/or get excited that fall is coming and continue to soak up as much of summer as I can. 

So in our quest to be outside as much as we can this month, we spent some time at the park on Sunday morning. This image pretty much sums up our trip... (note how the little one has her eyes glued to the big one having fun)


Something happened between last summer and this and Drew got all this new courage to climb and test his strength wherever he can on the playground. I already get so much anxiety with him climbing all over, but now he wants to get to the top of even the highest parts.


The little one can't do too much at the park but she definitely enjoys the swing and walking around attempting to trail the big one.

    I am 100% with you!!! I'm not ready to say goodbye to summer, so we're enjoying every single moment before it's REALLY Fall!

    I feel you on the annoyance but mine is more jealousy. I wish we had a fall so it's not so fun seeing it all over already. You send some fall I'll some sunshine.

    I agree!! It's super annoying seeing fall stuff when it's still very much summertime. It's basically summer like half of the year here, so I can't wait for fall, which is my absolute favorite, but I don't want to see pumpkin spice in August.

    Too funny! My absolute favorite season is Fall. Hence, why I will start daydreaming and planning for all things Fall back in June! lol! I have a feeling I will start enjoying summer more when we get to use our pool more next year. Since we got into the house so late the weather hasn't been warm enough to take advantage of it.

    Gorgeous pictures.

    I love that Drew got all brave this year. Maybe I have hope for my kids who are both timid little creatures.
