Enjoying The End of Summer

Here in my town we still have two weeks left of summer break.  Since many of the camps and summer activities are winding down or have finished, we are making the most of our last few days by taking some weekend and day trips.  

This past weekend we spent some time with my parents who live in the Catskills of NY.  It is so peaceful there!  We spent our days enjoying all nature had to offer us.

We took walks every morning.

Picked a bunch of wild blackberries on those walks.

Spent time playing and digging in the stream.

Made fun stuff out of the clay from the stream.

Observed the wildlife.

Rode Grandpa's quad
(Don't worry, they had helmets on when riding with me...this was just a posed shot)

And just spent quality family time together!

The next two weeks will be filled with some more fun day trips and shopping outings to get ourselves ready for school.  

You probably won't hear much from me during these two weeks as we're off enjoying the last days of summer.  I hope you enjoy yours too!
