On the heals of our nieces and nephews heading back to school today, and some starting school today for the very first time (Yeah Mitchell!!!) we have spent some time reflecting on this oh so fast, very quick, can't believe it's over summer. Where did it go? Between working in the yard, hauling debris to the debris place, trips to Home Depot, a trip to Montana, having our house painted, going to the beach, having some fun and what seems like never ending house cleaning, the last few months have just zipped by. Is it seriously September? I don't buy it. Nope. I won't believe it. However, this past labor day weekend just always seems to bring a change in mind set. Summer is over. That may be leftover from my school days. But I've been out of school for a long, long time. So really it just this... We just had the LAST three day weekend until Thanksgiving!!! That is always such a long stretch. Do I really have to work five days a week until then?
NO!!! Want to know why? Because next weeks starts our annual Sunriver family trip. And I am oh so excited. We will be bike riding, walking, eating, sleeping, game playing, eating, talking, eating, napping, swimming, eating, reading, playing tennis, eating, laughing, loving and did I mention eating? I believe it will be my third trip, my second as an official family member, and I look forward to it more every year! Although, I know no one looks forward to it more than Lynn. He starts talking about next year before we've even finished this year! : ) Thanks Lynn, for sharing this wonderful vacation with us. It is as much a blessing to us as it is to you.

This photo is from the first year I went (2006). I know that because I was much skinnier then, and you can't see Addison... she's hiding in Jenny's tummy. ; ) Oh yeah, and there wasn't a ring on my left hand... although I hoped and prayed for one every night as Jeff and I went out for our evening walk. It worked out okay, I only had to wait three more months.
And one last thing... you have never, I mean never, seen so much food in one place at one time. We could get snowed in for several winters and still come out chubby on the other end! ; )
Here's to Sunriver... 7 days and counting!
