And just like that, the summer that "really wasn't" was over. It was actually really weird for all that time to have disappeared. And we even had a bonus two extra weeks of "summer" because our school district decided to delay the start of the year in order to prepare for starting completely online (as opposed to hybrid with some days eLearning/some days in person). So we made the most of our last days, finishing up our Harry Potter movie series (again), reading books in the middle of the day together (and with Grandma Cheryl still), playing games, playing toys, taking walks, and enjoying surprise outings and goodies!
So here's the last of our summer adventures...featuring sno-cones and Legos!!
There's a new specialty shaved ice stand in town and we had been dying to give it a try. Perfect use of bonus summer days! Annabel got a root beer float sno-cone, Daniel got cherry, and I got pina colada- yummy all around. The regulars were ginormous (in the kids' hands, as seen below in first few pictures), so when we went back a week or so later with Daddy at night, we made sure to get smalls that time because that was plenty. Next time around- in the dark- Annabel got chocolate cake with sprinkles, Daniel got root beer float, I got strawberry shortcake, and Daddy got pina colada. More yummy! (And now, as I post this, they're serving up fall flavors...we have one more trip in our future, before they close up for the season! Butterbeer here we come!!)
And...Legos...well that was just for fun! I'd scored a super cute ice cream truck set with some bucks and Annabel earned her Quidditch Lego set with summer reading, so again, perfect use of some bonus summer days!
