Gosh, I can not believe how quickly August has gone by. One last weekend of summer in the mid-west. Our lake tends to shut down this weekend and it always makes me sad to see the boats and piers leave the water. We will keep our pier and boat in for a while in hopes to get out the wet suits and do some fall skiing, but we will see how that plays out. On off seasons we try to get up to our place every other weekend and when ever there is school breaks. Fall is always hard because of the boys being in football, but I hope we can still get up each month after their games. Last weekend was wonderful because a friend of mine came up with her kids! We chatted until 2:00 AM and then of course the kids were up by 4:30 wanting to go fishing and part of me thought... you gotta be kidding, yet I let them do their thing and build that memory for them! I'm truly amazed how kids can literally start their day so early on the lake and then go ALL day long with no rest time at all! Of course my son fell asleep within 5 minutes on the way home and slept 11 hours straight the next night! This weekend is all about family! I'm excited because my sister and brother along with their families are coming up! All the cousins are the same age so it's great to watch them play and get along so nicely! My other brother isn't coming because of fantasy football stuff and I haven't heard if my oldest sister or my mom is coming yet. When I say good bye to summer on Monday I won't allow myself to get sad, but feel blessed regarding the wonderful summer I had. I look forward to fall, winter, and spring and all the lake beauty that is attached to those seasons! I do wish summer was longer, but it is what it is! Enjoy your weekend ahead! Talk soon!
