Soaking Up Summer!

As always, I am behind on updating the blog...such is life! So, these pictures are from the end of August and beginning of September, when we were attempting to soak up the last warm days of summer, by spending as much time as humanly possible outside (despite Daddy's awful allergies!), and enjoying some of the things that Luke likes to do best before it gets too cold to do them anymore.

Playing in my new sandbox (we got this and a little plastic slide for $20 at a garage sale...a steal!)

Taking an afternoon hike with Mommy and Daddy!

And stopping along the way to play in the creek (aka...throw the rocks in the water!)

My first ice cream cone! He's had lots of ice cream in his life, but we thought it was time for him to have a cone of his very own before the summer was over! Can you tell he likes it?

And here's a little video of Luke being "Mr. Independent" (which is quite common these days!), pulling his own wagon on a nice evening walk!
