Last Day of Vacation

Today was our official last day of vacation. Monday is a holiday, so everyone has off, Tuesday is back to school for teachers, and Wednesday is the first day of school for both Jacob and myself.

We had a wonderful day, just the three of us. Perhaps my favorite day of the summer. We didn't fight, there were no tantrums, and we just enjoyed the day.

Here's what we did:

Woke up, had breakfast, took baths and showers

Took Brooklyn on a walk to Mel's house to say goodbye (They went camping for the weekend)

Took a drive to an orchard where we picked blueberries!

Fed the farm animals

Drove to Bertuccis for lunch

Went to photography studio where the boys had professional pictures taken

Drove home

Watched the ice cream truck drive by as we pulled into the driveway. Honked the horn, but the driver didn't hear us. We then camped out on our front walkway in hopes that it would return.

Played in the backyard for an hour

Had dinner

Walked to ice cream store for ice cream cones

Pajamas, stories, bed

I'm beat. But it was a great day. Pictures below as always!

(Waiting in vain for ice cream truck)(My favorite of all the pics we got today. It's a picture of a picture, so it has that sun spot on it. But I think you can still tell how great it is. Not that I'm biased or anything!)

Sounds like a fabulous day! You're one fun mommy. I'm exhausted just from reading it though.
Good luck with your and Jacob's first week of school.

Sounds like a great last day of summer. We almost took D today to get his 1st birthday pictures there today...to make use of the package we got. I love the picture.

We decided to come back at the end of Sept and get them done. When we wouldn't be rushing.

So glad you had a fun day. Nice memories.
