We have had a really nice summer. The weather was surprisingly comfortable and it rained about once or twice a week so I never had to water anything and it was always cool enough to eat dinner outside. Loved the summer weather and loved all the fun activities we did as a family.
This was the start to our garden in May. Our kids love tending the garden and I'll miss the grocery store in the backyard.
You know its a good summer when kids practically live in their swim suits.
In Mid July we went to the Michigan beach cities on the coast of Lake Michigan. We spent most of our time on the beach and in between we went blueberry picking and exploring the different coast cities! Sweetest blueberries I've ever tasted!
We also loved visiting the beautiful Lighthouses.
Maddie and Grant were brave enough to hike up to the top of the lighthouse.
After we climbed to the top of the lighthouse, we spent the afternoon swimming.
Love the Illinois summer flowers.
Since we've had so much rain, I had to mow 2x a week, so I enlisted some cute help.
The summer went by way too fast, but I know Grant will have a great year starting 1st grade. He started school on Aug 20th and Maddie doesn't start until Sept 9, so I still get to celebrate summer with her for a little longer.
In Miss McGrath's class.

It looks like Grant is already a super student. That's pretty exciting that he's in the first grade. Nora is always talking about school and how the kids that go there learn all sorts of things.
