Farewell Sweet Summer

This weekend we went to the "beach" for the last time this summer. By "beach" I mean the park with the sandy area by the water. Fall weather hits us early here in the mountains, so I wanted to have one last hurrah of summer on Labor Day weekend.

We went to this same park a few months ago for Baby C's first birthday. A few months can make quite a difference in a one year old and Baby C had an even more enjoyable time. He thinks he's five, so keeping him away from the deep water is tough.
The water was somewhat chilly, so that likely is why he didn't attempt full submersion.

Thinks he's big
 G and S had on some floaties and had the best time ever with the freedom they provided.
"Look at me swimming!"
He was pretending to be a "swimming robot." I do not know what a "swimming robot" is, but  it looked like fun.

The kids also got sandy...VERY sandy...
There's so much wet sand, it's weighing down his britches!
After a quick rinse and change of clothes, I passed out some go-gurt and we had a peaceful ride back to town. We had fun in the sand, sun, and water and came home a little sticky from the snack. If that doesn't imbibe all that is summer, I don't know what does. So, so long summer! Bring on the fall!
