My kids suck on Otter Pops all summer long. Well, Kael and Dax do... Ace has a serious aversion to all things cold. I watched them the other day at "The Red House", their red cheeks slowly cooling to pink as their core body temperatures came down with the aid of the AC and yet another frozen treat... They lift the little plastic sleeves and suck the very last drops of sticky cold juice from the packets every time they polish one off. It's their ritual. And I whole heartedly relate at this time of year.
It's the end of summer. My mind is going through dual lists: What's left on the summer to-do list and What's left to do on the prep for school list. Both are good. Both bring growth and adventure. And both run simultaneously through my brain these days. This week is our last of summer. And that means I'm sucking the very last drops of marrow out of our summer days. We're enjoying slow mornings with no where pressing to be and long afternoons in the sun.
Also Enjoying...
Making mud pies at Grandma's Bakery.
She embraces the mess and tells me,
"She's raising grandkids and memories and NOT the perfect back yard."
His daredevil leap off the high dive x forty-nine.
His unusual trepidation this go around, "But what if I fall? Oh darling, but what if you fly?"
Lazy pool days with cousins
Sweeping the ladies right off their feet.
There are two months that separate these two and they have a hot/cold relationship to say the least.
But man, he likes to be the big brawny one, for sure.
Parades... with Paddington. :)
They all yelled out and waved to "Paddington" so it would seem the National Forest Service needs to up the ante in their Smokey the Bear education department.
Parade Shenanigans...
Shooting with Daddy-o.
And those proud faces after shooting a few rounds.
Waiting Like Gentlemen
Which is harrrrrdddd!
And more scenes like this...
