Where did summer go?

Wow, I can't believe that summer is basically over. Last night we went to Sydney's open house at school to meet her second grade teacher. Second grade, wow, my baby is growing up. The summer has flown by. I have been reflecting on what made the summer go so fast.

We spent two weeks right when summer started in Florida at Disney World. What a great time and Sydney was at such a great age. She was still young enough to enjoy the characters and little rides but old enough to like the bigger rides also. She even rode Aerosmith's Rocking Roller Coaster and the roller coaster at Animal Kingdom. What a great time.

Right when we got back Sydney tried out for the Chicago Fire Juniors soccer team and made the team. So we have had practices at least once a week since then, I'm not complaining at all she is doing so well.

We got the boat out a few times, even got her out on Lake Michigan. We also spent a long weekend at Cedar Lake with the Churchills. I've spent a lot of time watching the Whitecaps play baseball and Todd has spent some time flying his RC airplanes with Jeff. We even spent some fun times with friends.

Overall it has been a fun summer but wow did it go by quickly. I was just at Sydney's soccer practice and it got downright cold to sit there with just my t-shirt and jeans. I guess we never really got the warm or hot summer weather except for a few weeks. Global warming my you-know-what. Anyway, that's our summer in a nutshell it sure was great but short.
