last blast of summer fun

We ended the last summer weekend with a visit from the ice cream truck. The kids were out doors playing away the last precious moments of the summer evening when they heard the faint melodies played by the friendly ice cream lady. They patiently, or um, not so patiently, waited the 15 minutes it took her to make her way up our hill. arriving right on time to satisfy their cravings for their favorite summer time treats. YUM!
Scott and the kids played a rousing game or 2 or 3 of croquet this afternoon, it was 90+ degrees out there, so you all know that I stayed indoors with the babe... ;0)
For dinner we BBQ'd again. This is a treat we will continue to do even though summer has faded into early, and I mean early, fall. beings that the temperatures have no idea what time of year it is. We have been known to haul the trusty old BBQ onto the snow covered porch and grill up some dinner in the midst of the snow. BBQ smells completely different in the middle of January than it does this time of the year.
Hopeing you all had a wonderful ending to your fun filled summer and are ready with open arms to welcome my favorite time of the year. Fall....I love it! the cool crisp air, sweat shirt wearing weather, the colors, the smells....love it! Bring it on!!!
