Goodbye Summer.... Sigh

Can I just say how sad I am to see the summer already ending?? Since I grew up in Southern California, I love 75-90 degree weather and am most comfortable in capri's, a t-shirt and rainbow sandals. It is really hard for me every Fall to get my rain coat back out now that I live in Oregon. It is especially hard this year since we had such a long crazy winter and summer was pretty much all of one month.  With rain in the forecast for the next 10 days though, it's looking like summer really is coming to an end. (Insert long sigh) Though I have to say I really do like how gorgeous and fun the Fall is here in Oregon with all the leaves (seriously there are so many!) and all the pumpkin patches. Plus Halloween is coming up and those who know me know I LOVE Halloween! 

Anyways, in honor of the summer season I thought I would post some pictures of the fun time we had this summer (and also get a chance to post those ones I just never got around to!). Although it was a pretty busy and stressful summer with John and I both working so many hours as well as job searching for John (and boy is that time consuming and STRESSFUL!!), we did manage to get some fun in there. A few camping trips, birthdays, 4th of July fireworks, weekends in Glide, lots of swimming and playing in the water fountains and a trip to the coast are just a few of the fun things we got to do! Here are some pictures of some of our best memories over the summer:

Camping!!






Lots of time spent running through different water fountains around the city









Lazy Mornings



Delicious Boysenberry Cobblers


Going shirt free during those super hot days










Popsicles that make your tongue turn colors



And the Oregon Coast

Summer time is the best!! We hope to have a beautiful fall here in Texas. I agree with you that Oregon has beautiful fall seasons.

Great pictures! What a fun summer!! Love the lazy morning, coast and fountain pictures! We should go camping together next summer. And I can't believe we didn't get together for a single BBQ. We're lame. At least the sun has come back out in September - after such a short summer, I wasn't quite ready for all the rain!

[PS: Starting Oct. 1st I am jobless and will be more available, so we'll have to get the boys together. Let me know!]
