so long summer

i can't believe summer is over already!
it came and went before i ever realized it was summer.

part of this must be because it has been an unusually mild summer for san diego.
i think there were a handful of days it reached 80 degress at the beach so it simply
didn't feel much like summer. i can't complain when so much of the country was hot and
miserable, it was just unusual is all.  we usually get 2 weeks of hot weather.
since we didn't, i really welcomed the recent phoenix trip.

another reason i feel it flew by? we didn't go on a family trip anywhere this summer.
we usually squeeze something in and the summer of 2010, well we didn't.
c was buried at work, we were both preparing the beach cottage to sell and
preparing for our 'temporary' home.  things were far from 'status quo' at the house.

at least the little guys enjoyed their summer.
brooke entertained them with trips to museums, the zoo and sea world and because finn needed
a little more than just that, we put him in science and tennis camp for a week as well. 
science camp of course was his favorite!  there's *very* little that excited him more than science.
(no joke). finn oliver would have been perfectly content being there all summer

next year, he's requested 'robotic camp', however here's the hitch.
children have to be 8 years old to attend.
finn however believes "is very intelligent" and thinks the director
might let him."  i've promised to ask. :)

besides the move, i had to be sure to get a picture of brooke with the boys
and also finn on his first day of kindergarten.
actually it was his 2nd day. i forgot my camera the first day. *smile*
