our end of summer...

yes i am counting last weekend as summer. it is starting to feel more like fall and that's okay, but i will miss summer! we have a book titled "Summer" by Alice Low at the lake house. i read it to charly this weekend and got sad thinking that we won't be able to enjoy all the things that summer brings anymore. however, each season has something that it brings to the table so we will be happy as we move into fall, then winter, then spring, until next summer!

the ditch at grandma & grandpa johnsons i spent a lot of time here growing up!

my handsome boy with gigi!

i think charly liked it as much as i did at her age. anything she can throw rocks into makes her day!

two kids pooped out, i took this picture because i think they look so much alike (looks and sleeping positions)

bubble baths together, i couldn't snap a cute picture of them both before my camera died

too dang cute!

great grandma j holding sawyer for the first time. we've visited many times, but she never felt strong enough to hold this big chunk until last weekend!

i had to get a picture of chuck playing with the toys at great grandma j's. funny thing is those are my pots and pans she's playing with. toys sure have come along way since i was a kid!

the lake was perfect for canoeing! corey and i took a lovely row and then charly wanted a ride too! corey said she was much less scared than i was. it seriously feels like your going to tip right over!

wagon rides. charly's decided it's okay if sawyer rides with her.

our nature walk on the first day of fall, we even saw a snake!

one of my favorite pics of charly this summer. oh she loves her goggles!
