Goodbye Summer

I really felt like this was our first official summer holiday since it was our first time breaking from school.  It went entirely too fast, in my opinion (a mere 6 weeks here in the UK).  We tried to keep it simple and relaxing with lots of pajama days, but got excited about ticking off our own "Summer Ideas Checklist." 

 

 
We celebrated our last day of summer vacation at Clacton-on-the-Sea, flying kites, collecting shells and playing with friends.  After dark, we had one last late night using up our firework reserve and sending off a lantern.  Goodbye Summer, we already miss you!
