The summer that never ends

Oh man the summer of 2012 just doesn't end does it?  But really, I never wanted it to.  We had so much fun this summer playing at parks, traveling places and bumming around on the many beaches we have here.  It was warm, sunny, and spent with lots of fun people.  But since it's December, lets wrap this summer up shall we?

The kids took advantage of the summer reading program at the library.  It's amazing what the promise of glow in the dark stars will do!

We picked buckets full of fresh raspberries and made lots of jam

Threw lots of rocks in the lakes

Rolled down a few hills

Decided to check out the new giant ferris wheel on the Pier with some friends

And spent many warm days and nights at the lake

 The three amigos raced around the Seattle Center fountain one afternoon and decided that even tough boys sunbathe ;)

A rare photo of the mommas.  

And then we squeezed in a trip to the circus

And of course there were plenty of days where we just hung out together and enjoyed the sunshine
