Today we spent the day with the kid's friends, Lauren and Alex. Their mom, my friend Darnell, is a teacher, and teachers went back to school today, so they came to hang out with us while she was at work. This sort of marked the beginning of the end of the Summer of 2008. We had a great summer day though. I made the kids turn off the Wii and come outside, where I tought them a simple joy from my childhood....the game of "Kick the Can." They really seemed to enjoy it and I felt like I was back in Jersey circa 1976.
We really had a great summer, with many trips to the pool, Carowinds and the water park, riding bikes, boating at the lake, and just hanging out. We made special excursions to the Raptor Center, the Scheile Museum and Planeterium, Latta Plantation, and ice skating. We also had a great time at the annual "Separ Family Beach trip" where we got to spend time with Grandma, Grandpa, Aunts, Uncles, and cousins, Trace and Lilly. There were a couple of things that we planned but didn't get to during the summer, but that gives us some Fall events to look forward to.
