It is not the kids going back to school that I consider the end of summer. In my eye's it is when we head out to the island for that final camping trip of the year that I officially know summer has come to an end.
We were planning to make this our last overnight at the campsite this weekend, but once we heard the mid 30's temperature that they were calling for last night, we opted to head out for the day today instead to close everything down for the winter.
This was the final time this year we will pull up to our site.
This was the final time this year we will comment on how incredibly low the lake was this year. So low that the boat was beached here as Steve was taking out the pier.
The kids were happy to find this down tree when we arrived today. They spent ALL day climbing up, down and all around this thing. I'm not sure they will let us cut it up for firewood when we return next year. I am tempted to leave it. It is moments like this when they are not stuck in front of the tv or video games, but rather enjoying the great outdoors and making up games with the things find in nature. Pure love!
Looking forward to our return next year!
