We have our winner! Commenter #66 – Cori! Congratulations Cori!
It seems the end of summer comes on suddenly, and every year I find myself standing with my arms out asking, “Where did the time go?”
Most summers, we close with a long weekend camping trip with a dozen other families. But due to schedule conflicts, we don’t get to do that this year. *sad face*
With the realization that summer is coming to a close, we often try to cram in a few activities in the last weeks of our freedom… ranging from a baseball game, trips to the beach, a trip to the zoo, and this year we are going to shell out some cash to take the kids on a local tourist attraction – The Ducks of Seattle.
Truth is, times are tight, and our summer excursions have had to stay local… even going to the movies can get expensive, but not if you have friends with a projector – and a white garage door! This summer we have enjoyed “Drive-in on our drive way” night!

We take our last “summer” trip in the beginning of September. We hit our favorite campgrounds just before the weather starts to turn. Thanks for the opportunity to win!
My kids went back to school several weeks ago. Before they went back, we headed to the zoo for our last fun outing. It was hot and humid but we had fun!
Schools already back in session. But Alex and his dad do have a weekend trip to a soccer game planned.
We just took a great long weekend trip to the mountains to renew and refresh before the new year begins.
my daughter is actually away for the rest of the summer so I am painting and going to redo her room while she is off having fun, but we will be going on a mini vacation to Napa in Oct

We would like to take the kids to the zoo before the cold weather settles in, and we have one last trip to the lake planned for our youngest child’s birthday, which is coming up soon.
We don’t have much planned since school has started and its SO hot here still. Would like to go to the fair if it cools down some!
Thanks – Sarah Z

We are planning one last camping trip in the mountains this summer.
Unfortunately for my kids, school started today for them (yeah for me though!), but we did enjoy our local amusement park last week for one last fun day!
We’re keeping it local with picnics in the park etc.
Hopefully some garage sales those are always fun what you might find, puzzles and badminton or movies
My family is going on a camping/hiking trip in the Adirondacks.
This year we plan to take a day trip to Craters of the Moon as soon as the weather cools off a bit.
Once Tempts drop below 95, My daughter and I will be doing some horse back riding around our pasture as winter time approaches, riding is far and between due to weather. We also have some plans to go to the zoo and few fundraising events coming up.

Pinics by the river and then tubing on the river is what we like to do
I’m surprising them with a water slide. I would love to take them to Busch Gardens but I don’t know if my health is going to allow it.
