Besides our high school and middle school cross country runners, our only official summer activity this year is Dukes' U7 T-ball through the YMCA. He is really enjoying his second summer sports season and is quite an all-star on the field. He is incredibly focused, makes smart plays, has a crazy accurate throw, runs hard, and swings for power hits - and loves every moment! He's having a ball! We have enjoyed hanging out at the park two nights a week, cheering for our slugger!
As usual, summer is passing much too quick. It's hard to look at our calendar and realize we only have a month left summer break - not to mention we have two kids moving out over the next three weeks. This next month our household will see some major changes! I have to keep reminding myself: "this is good, this was the goal, this was the plan" . . . and then I try to squeeze in some fun, and treasure every moment of this fleeting time.
I am thankful for these littles. I am thankful for simple trips to the playground.
I'm glad we were able to make a return trip to Headland Beach State Park this summer. Unfortunately for this day trip, the Lake Erie had a red-box "Poor" water quality warning. E.coli, no thank you, no swimming for us. Bummer!
We did get to walk the longest natural sand beach in Ohio, search for beach glass, skip rocks, hike the sand trail around the nature preserve to the Fairport Harbor Light, have a picnic lunch, and enjoy ice cream at a local shop. Despite not swimming, it was lovely to have a day at this beautiful Lake Erie beach!
