Spontaneous last hurrah of summer


Last Saturday we had Kirk's family over to celebrate his mom's birthday. We had a fun time visiting and watching the kids ride bikes out in front (yes, we were out at the prime time of day and the weather was fabulous!) and play. After they left Kirk said we should go camping once more before school starts on Wednesday. That was at 3:00. By 4:00 we were packed and on our way to San Dimas for 2 nights of fun. Normally in the middle of summer we wouldn't dream of going to San Dimas, but since we've had such a mild summer it ended up being perfect. We had beautiful weather! We rode bikes, went swimming, played catch, had bon fires, played video games, took a drive around Kirk's old neighborhood where he and his brother lived for a few years. The kids found a soccer ball down the hill a little and after retrieving it they had fun with that too. It was a good time and even more fun because it was such a last minute decision! What a great way to rap up the summer.
