The Last Hoorah

Last weekend, we took our annual trip to the river with our long time friends Chris and Jenny.  We packed up our car, picked up a few friends and headed out west early Saturday morning.  It was a beautiful day with not a cloud in the sky and temperatures in the low 90s.  We've been to the river a few times this summer.  Most trips, the kids spend the majority of the day playing on the beach.  This time, though, they were in the water pretty much all day!  Which means that Chris, Jenny and I were in the water pretty much all day.

It was a fun and relaxing time.  And a great way to wrap up another summer.

Later Saturday evening, I took Alex and a friend out to Kokomo Joe's.  My bank was having a promotion that included free admission, mini-golf, go-carts, laser tag and unlimited arcade games from 6 to 9 that evening.  I wasn't really sure what to expect as we had never been there before.  It turned out to be an amazing time!

Alex and Nathan really, really enjoyed themselves.  During their second laser tag game, I retreated to the Tiki Bar for a drink and some light reading on my Kindle.  Then we hit the arcade together.  It is so much more fun to play arcade games when they are FREE!

Although the weekend was quite busy, it was the perfect way to end the summer!

School is back in session!
