I love the change of seasons, but this summer has been quite fun and we are holding on to it with a death grip even as the leaves start to change color and the mornings grow so brisk. We are trying to spend as much time outside as possible if for no other reason than daydream fodder in late February. We sneaked out mid-week for some canoeing and fishing, on a lovely little lake. Lisa slayed the bass and the kids pretty much just worked their way through the snacks. We found a little time to check out the improvements at the Zoo, a couple of new environments and a nice little restaurant. The badger even gave us some nice opportunities to watch him and the new pronghorns were out as we headed over to feed the giraffes. For the second time this summer we also made it to the 17th hole in mini-golf before getting rained out. This time of year however the rain was big cold drops and we had no interest in playing any hole except the very last hole as it was in a cave. I always feel like such a leader when playing golf, as there are so many groups behind me. The days will drift towards October and apple picking, but until then we will hold on and the kids can continue to play "bubble ball" where Sophia blows bubbles and Merrick tries to crush them all with his bat.
