Goodbye Week. Hello Weekend. Lessons Learned: Take 5.

Goodbye July.
Goodbye homemade peach ice cream that disappeared way too fast.
Goodbye Chuck E. Cheese playdate - even with 9-year olds, you're still a hit.
Goodbye playing made up card games that totally rock.
Goodbye lightening show and thunderstorms lulling us to sleep at night.

Freshly picked peaches. Recipes to come!

Hello August.
Hello picnic in the park.
Hello to finding gnomes in the garden.
Hello beach sand in our shoes.
Hello to making the last weeks of summer break even more fun than the first weeks.
