Last Day of Summer Vacation


It's official: summer vacation is over. It seemed too short - to the kids, and to me. They returned to school today (Fri.). This past week, we've been cramming in all the little things we hoped to do but had not. Chuck E. Cheese on Tuesday, a trip to the trailhead park yesterday. There's a big concrete area near the bike trail that has water jets in the ground. The jets go on an off, some high, some low. It's a fun way to cool off from our 95+ degree days (but I'm still questioning the wisdom on concrete + water + kids).
In the photo above are (from left to right): Son #1 - age 13, Son #2, standing (age 11), and Son #3 (age 6).

Time just flies isn't it when you seems to have fun but I can see that the boys did have fun splashing :D

Summer vacation is too short! Clare goes back in about two weeks and there's too much stuff to do and not enough summer left to do it in...

Looks like a good last day of summer vacation!

I hate that they go back to school in the beginning of August. They get out of school pretty early (May 25th), but I'd rather see them return around Aug 18 - 20th, like they used to several years ago.

Wow it's so soon. Summer vacation should last until after August, but I guess if you finish early you go back early. Enjoy getting in some last minute summer fun.

Nadine, a few years ago they used to go back the third week of August, which was a little more reasonable in my opinion. Early August is just too early for my taste.
