End of Summer?

It's funny how just as you are getting ready to go back to school, summer weather finally hits in full force.  The past two weekends have been pretty warm, so a few weeks ago we squeezed in a trip to a beach along lake michigan not too far from our house, and other than the sand really smelling like fish is was really nice and the kids had a good time.  Hannah was bouncing all over the water and going under with ease, Leah was much more cautious but she's become much more confident in the water this summer too (she just isn't quite as fearless and she gets pretty cold - the lake was cold even for me!  Joseph and Hannah just don't care as much)  Last weekend we went camping in Minnesota and met up with the Grogg and Gould crews.  I haven't had a chance to go through the pictures yet, but it was a good time even with Hannah throwing up, Leah peeing her pants, and Joseph burning his finger.  There's always some kind of excitement with the Conway crew!  Our house is finally starting to cool off now that we're moving back down into the lower 80s again, and though it's hard to tell summer is winding down, Joseph starts first grade on Tuesday.  So I guess that means the summer ends this weekend!
