Summer Send-Off: Final Edition

I went camping this weekend.
It was freezing.
I dressed the girls in coats and hats and mittens.
I wore brown fuzzy boots and black sweatpants (at the same time...classy, huh?)
I shivered while sitting next to a fire.
I realized that summer is long, long gone.
And so, too, should be my Summer Send-Off Series.

Here's one final Hoorah to a season filled with swingsets and wagon rides, afternoons at the park and evenings at the pool. I'm sending you off with five of my favorite photos from this summer. I will hold my breath (and I mean that figuratively, as I don't want to pass out before I have a chance to eat all of my children's Halloween candy), until summer comes back to our region again (only seven short months, but who's counting?).
