Does Summer really have to come to an end?

Why is it August always flies by? It seems once it hits August 1st the time can't move fast enough to get to Labor Day! We've tried to enjoy it as much as we can though. We had one more overnighter at the cabin where I convinced my Mom that we needed to rebuild the fire pit. A few years ago the Forest Service came in and went over all their rules and regulations in which we had to remove some trees and remove our most favorite swing and get rid of the fire pit, just to name a few things. However, we have watched the "neighbors" plant flowers and run a sprinkler to water their "lawn" and they have a dreadful totem pole and other annoyances that I do believe are against some of the rules and regulations, so I told my Mom, "we're rebuilding the fire pit!" Needless to say, we enjoyed roasting smores while a light rain fell. What a wonderful last night at the cabin!


Besides having our last overnighter at the cabin, we also took a day trip to Yellowstone Lake. I have very fond memories of Yellowstone, as we spent a lot of time there during the summer when I was a child. We would all load up in the truck and camper with the boat and our bikes and everything a family needed for a fun stay in the park. I remember doing this weekend after weekend and sometimes we would stay for a week. We would tour the park or just play for hours in Bridge Bay Marina or ride our bikes through the Bridge Bay campground. My love of Yellowstone is still strong and as my boys get older I want to share it with them. Unfortunately we only had one day this year to go, but I hope to plan a few days visit in the next couple years.
