Good-Bye Summer

I'd say we spent our unofficial last weekend of summer finishing things off right!

Friday, we got out of town early to get to Eugene and listen to Gabe's dad play music here.  Good beer, great music and time with grandparents.  Perfect!  Then Saturday afternoon, Tom had another gig up in Oakridge, so we went up to hear some more music at the park.
Levi got to ride around the bike path, throw rocks in the river, see Grandma Winnie and enjoy Grandpa Tom's harmonics.  Good times!

Yesterday we went down to the Oregon State Fair.
Levi's first trip to the fair was full of fun.
He loved looking at the animals (but not the petting zoo so much).
He loved the rides!
This roller coaster he did with Daddy was his favorite.
And he loved the food!  It wouldn't be the fair without food.  A lunch of hand dipped corn dogs, curly fries and strawberry lemonade was topped off with Levi's first taste of cotton candy.  (Mommy and Daddy didn't share their deep fried Snicker's bar with him.)

Today we've been hanging out at home, getting some much needed yard work done.  And I'm slowly trying to wrap my brain around the fact that another school year starts tomorrow.  I'm not ready to say good-bye to summer.  It was such a great one!

A great end to summer. Enjoyed seeing you all. Did you get the plants in the ground, Gabe? Or at least in a cool, damp place for now.
Love you, Grandma Winnie

Tons of fun. So good seeing you guys last weekend, and happy that Levi got to listen to Grandpa Tom play music twice! Levi's first trip to the Fair sounds like a grand time. Don't forget to send pics. of what you got with your birthday gift card! And, sorry summer is over and you have to head back to school. Dylan's last day of summer was spent in the emergency room - he snapped his clavical ligaments in half and broke his shoulder. Love, Grammy
P.S. How's that whistle holding up?
