Final Bash of the Summer

Each year, during the final weekend of summer, we have one last big activity. This year we decided to take the kids on the ferry across the bay and get some ice cream at the ferry landing.

Cam is so funny when it comes to the things he is apprehensive about. The rail that Logan is leaning against is right up to the edge of the dock. Logan was so excited by the boats, especially as he watched the ferry coming in. He went right up to the rail, no hesitation, anticipating the arrival of the ferry. Cam was a bit nervous. He took one look down and saw the dirty water several feet below and would go no where near the rail!

On the other side of the bay, we couldn't but help posing for a family picture! I can't believe just how tall Briley is getting. She hit another big growth spurt a couple of weeks back. She comes just below my collar bones when standing in front of me. She complains regularly about her knees hurting. And that brings back memories for me. I grew so fast as a kid, hitting 5 foot 3 inches by fifth grade. My knees always hurt too. Hopefully she will stop (or at least slow down!) soon or she is going to out grow me in only a few short years!

Oh so many choices!
We had a little bit of time before we had to get back on the ferry. So we let them burn off some of the sugar they just ate!
Any guesses as to what is going through Logan's mind at this moment? He jumped right on top of the pile! The girls weren't so impressed by that, but we thought it was hilarious. As did he! Check out his grin!


It was such a fun night!
