Good-bye Summer, We're Gonna Miss You

We went to one of our state fairs on your birthday weekend.  We headed straight to get some seats to catch the Alaskan Piggy race.  We giggled and had a good time watching these guys and gals compete.

And they're off . .

Look at her form (she's only 6 months old). I think she was celebrating knowing she was in first!

Ah, sweet victory . . . and grub waiting at the finish line!

 

Getty up, little pony

Enjoying her sweet ride.  She loves to ride and isn't apprehensive at all

We cheered on the lumberjacks as they sawed, chopped, and climbed TALL poles and had a water log roll contest.  We also downed a lot of free McDonald's frozen

lemonades

Did some dancing

Indulged in some cotton candy

This has been another FUN summer of new things learned.  You have wanted to roller and ice skate since you saw Minnie Mouse do it.  You are always eager to learn new things. I think you may grow up to be someone who loves adventure. 

You mastered staying upright

And going forward!

You loved it from day 1.

Sweet face, happily playing in your sandbox while I work in the garden.

We spent the summer in our backyard and mostly local, but have enjoyed every minute.

We also enjoyed doing some fun projects together

We sorted, peeled and broke your crayons to create new crayons

Our new crayon rounds!  They are fun to look at and use. 

We also made our first picture scene and put it in your bathroom to enjoy for the summer.  We have also loved going to the library.  You love to return them down the shoot and "ring" them up on the scanner.  I love our reading time in the evenings before bed.

You also learned to ride a training bike.  This was how we found you in the evening after your first day of riding.  You have mastered riding in a circle around and round the patio  furniture.
