Well here we are at the end of summer. So much fun and interesting experiences this season. We're going to get one last beach day in this week and we had a nice time at plimoth plantation with the kids. 
Kyler and Stuart hadn't been yet, so it was fun to take the whole family. We were so inspired by the Wampanog Indian site that we decided to make some canoes' ourselves. We hollowed them out in Wampanog fashion with fire, then chisel then more fire. 
We're going to miss the warm summer nights at the baseball fields, but we've been enjoying the change of weather as it has gotten cooler, the frogs have been out more and the kids are catching a few each day. We also caught a cool caterpillar with some awesome mimicry - what appears to be snake eyes to scare away other insects. Now he's in his chrysalis and we'll see if he comes out this year or next.
We loved our summer outings, from home to Maine: beaches, baseball, bugs, swimming, hanging with family and day trips.
We're excited for school to start back. The kids have been to tour the middle school, McKye had back to school night. Kyler is missing Tanner quite a bit, but I'm hoping he'll make friends as he starts his classes. He's been having a good time with the boys in Young Mens so hopefully he'll make some closer to home as well. 
Addie is missing Emily and Payton, but she too has enjoyed starting Young Women's, and has been making friends. She's super excited to start middle school so she can get into drama and arts. She's also quite the little baker. She's been fattening me up with all her treats and snacks, they taste as good as they look, and she loves to decorate them all fancy like.
