I can't believe that summer is over and fall is here already. I have to admit that summer is my favorite season, but if I have to give it up for now fall is a good season to give it up for. I was sorting through pictures this morning and pulled out these that, if not the best pictures, hold good memories for me of the summer that just flew by.
A tether ball challenge between Hope and Uncle Rob.
Rob seems just a little too happy about beating a 10 year old, but then Hope is a pretty fierce competitor.
Lots of family get-togethers made the summer extra good for me....this must have been one, or else it was a sunglasses commercial.
Joanna, Jill and Leah
There were lots of fun water activities......
Justin
Swimming lessons for EJ.....she loved her teacher, once she got past the fact that he had lots of "fur" under his arms.
The Elmo sprinkler was at the top of Beck's list for fun in the water.
Tennis in 90 degree temps didn't look that fun to me, but Justin played a lot of it.
And. of course, the best of summer foods......peaches......
Hope
and popsicles.
Beck and EJ
Thanks for your indulgence with my "happy summer" post. I'll try to come up with a good rant soon.
Love your happy posts, Jeanie, and you sharing your family and summer fun with us! Looked like it was a great summer and you are so right, it flew by way too fast!

oh I hear you...summer is my favorite time of the year...even with our hot Texas weather...I said my goodbyes to summer on FB...with almost the same things on your list...
ReplyDeleteI WANT AN ELMO SPRINKLER!
ReplyDeleteJeanie, I loved Tetherball when I was a kid. These pictures brought back memories. (:>)
ReplyDeleteI also loved to play in the sprinkler as a child. (But had nothing as fun as that Elmo thingy!) (:>)
Loved the furry arm pits remark! Ha!
And last but not least...I loved the summer peaches....and the popsicles this year! (Maybe I am still a kid at heart!)
Have a great week Jeanie!
Love, LINDA
Happy pictures! I loved to play tether ball as a a kid. I'll ask hubby to buy one for our patio, because our relatives would enjoy it when we get together for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Thinking of a water sprinkler, too, for the grandkids. Thanks for the great ideas, Jeanie!
ReplyDeleteHi Jeanie, Loved seeing all your family fun activities-what a precious group you have! It is hard to believe summer is gone but I so love fall and with a new grandson, it will be even better.
ReplyDeleteHugs, Noreen
How funny. I just e-mailed you about grape popsicles!
ReplyDeleteYou have the same start of autumn we do.
I grew up in the East, so I always remember it quite differently.
Your family is lovely Jeanie!
Peaches, popsicles, AND an Elmo sprinkler! That is good living! Glad your family had such a great summer.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a beautiful family, Jeanie. I enjoy seeing their happy faces!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe summer's nearly over too! Where did it go so fast????

I agree with everybody. You DO have such a gorgeous family. My daughter is rather glad summer is over with. They've suffered through some pretty terrible temperatures in Illinois.
ReplyDeleteNothing like pictures of grandkids (and big kids) enjoying each other and the out of doors to put a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe September is nearly over! It has really gotten cool here but we refuse to turn on the heat. We like one month with no heat and no ac!
ReplyDeleteHappy wonderful pictures.
ReplyDeleteA great way to say farewell to your favorite season. Wonderful photos filled with love. And your post made me realize tether ball is what my yard needs! Maybe next summer!
ReplyDeleteI love seeing your family posts. There is such love in every picture, such joy! And yes, summer went by FAR too fast!
