End of Summer

Sadly the summer has come and gone, it goes by so fast!  This summer we tired to make it to the park at least once a week. Sometimes we made it more and sometimes not at all, but over all we were at the park a lot!  Elene loves to go down the slides and she doesn't need anybodies help.  She will climb to the top and then go down the slide and run and to it again and again and again.  She has no fear, therefore sometimes when she is climbing she gives me a heart attack.  Brynlee love to make friends.  If we dont go with friends (which is most of the time) she makes a friend.  She is so excited about it and invites them to come back and play.  She is so friendly.
We spent a lot of time down at the Catmulls. We would go for walks and the girls would always slow down in front of there house and within a minutes Reese would come running out. and then we would end up stay at least an hour.  Thanks Catmulls you made our summer full of fun.  They are great friends.
We took the girls to their first Durby this summer.  And at first they didn't like it.  It was to loud and scary.  But the next day Brynlee kept talking about it and how she wanted to go watch car crash again.  Elene was okay and long as a held her.  She doesn't like loud noises at all but wanted to watch the whole time.  It was a fun family outing. 
 We have gone up to the cabin this year June, July, August, September and October.  So we are been very lucky this year to have so many vacations.  We usually go on a weekend so we can have more days with out taking a whole bunch of vacation days. From a trips one of Elenes first word was "Buffalo"  We were able to is a fox on the cabin porch this year that was fun and exciting for both the kids and the adults. Brynlee gets so excited when we go.  We can't tell her until we are packing to go or she will ask at least 5 times a day. And Elene just squalls with joy when she see the cabin. 
Our summer went by really fast.  Between the everyday stuff and cabin trips and everything else. Summer is gone.  The last 3 days has make me realize how much I am going to miss it.  It has been rainy for the last 3 days.  Winter will be fun though.  Elene and Brynlee are at the age where they will enjoy playing out in the snow for hours.  So maybe we will spend a lot of time outside still.
