Summer Fun

We only have a few more weeks of summer here.  The weather has already entered the dry autumn pattern.  After a rainy June and July, August has been dry, warm, and windy.  Maggie starts 1st grade in a week and Bea is currently on her two-week hiatus from preschool.

We have been finding ways to stay busy, including old reliables like the mall:


Bea is also big enough now that she doesn't need constant interaction with a parent while she is playing. 


We took a trip to Meadowbrook park and went around the nature trail in order to see what sort of wildflowers were growing.  We ended up finding so much more, including a lot of different butterflies.


We also found some low-hanging walnut branches and were able to snag a few before they fell.


Finally, we found some blackberry bushes along the trail.  Bea ensured that all of the ripe ones found their way to her mouth.
