What filled our last days of summer?

 We picked a lot of these:

Which ended up in this:

I cut open one of our jalapenos and had a nice little surprise!  Who knew we could grow such happy veggies!

John hung a swing in one of our trees and the kids love it!  So much so, that we probably need to hang another one, so they won't fight over it. 

And in case you haven't been outside in a while, well...there's a 99% chance that it's raining!! And really, you can only stay inside for so long. So the kiddos decided to take their crazy selves outside and play in the rain! (It was actually a fun thing to watch!)

And Zac just lapped it up!

And of course we had to take a final trip to the lake! Which included a hike to our favorite swimming hole!

And our last hoorahs included a couple of trips to Six Flags and a trip to the skating rink.  (Hmmm...look at the girl to boy ratio -- Sam is a smart guy!)

Farewell Summer, it's been fun~
