Saturday, August 29 - Sunday, August 30:
We're going to Reading to pick up Destiny, then going to Lititz to celebrate with the Stauffer family the 90th birthday of Dad Stauffer! We'll spend some time with Sam and Jenn too and hopefully a few others.
Somehow, we managed to work at our jobs besides all that.
So THAT, folks is where our summer went. How about yours?

You packed it in! I'm afraid I spent too much time working, but we have a week off coming up soon. :)
We have had a great summer, too, but I would be lost to make a list as full as yours is! Nice way to recap the summer activities, though! It has been fun following along through your posts. The summer seems to have just flown by, but then when we look back at all we've done, we didn't waste the time, that's for sure! Here's to an equally full and fun fall and winter!!
You really did pack in a full summer. It is a good thing that gas prices were down! Let's hope that the gas prices stay down so you can have an equally busy fall.
