Soaking Up the End of Summer!

I don't want to admit it but summer is almost over.  Thoughts of Halloween, tailgates, crockpot meals, and pumpkin flavored desserts have started to creep in.  We are making the most of the warm sunny days while they last though!

 Had to capture this because it is rare these days.  Quinn was pretty tired at the pool one Friday night and let me hold her while Nolan and Eric swam.

We celebrated Eric's 34th with friends on a pedal wagon around the Short North.  We pedaled around to a couple different bars and had a blast!

 The kids helped to make his favorite Rolo cheesecake and loved singing "happy birthday" to him.

 Taking a break from a serious water gun fight in the backyard.

 Now that Nolan is in school 2-3 times a week, Quinn and I have had a lot of quality mommy/daughter time.  It's so weird (and easy) to have just one.

 Doing his hair for kindergarten.

 Grabbing some candy at the candy story with Emma and Sam after a hot, fun day at the splash pad.

We visited the Saint Joan of Arc festival again this year.  It rained an hour prior to opening so I think that deterred a lot of people from coming.  The kids were able to ride a lot of rides without long waits, they ate lots of junk food, and danced to the band's music.  A good time was had by all!
