September is coming!!! How sad!

So I can't believe that it is nearing the end of August. I had all sorts of wonderful plans for the summer. I guess since that season is coming to an end, we'll just cram them all into the next few weeks. We went to the Zoo yesterday. Sadly, this was the first time this summer that this happened. Yes, I know I'm depriving my son. Andrew had such a great time. He loved the monkeys (which he calles mumneys), the tiger (he pronounces it tider) and the bears. He also enjoyed the birds. The good mom that I am, I decided to have him feed the birds with a little feeder stick. He did really well, until a bird landed on his stick, then he screamed!!!! If they were on the stick I was holding, it was ok, but I had to take his stick away because he totally freaked every time! So the good mom that I am, I laughed.....a lot!
We also went to the beach with our good friends last night and enjoyed a very nice sunset. These nice warm nights will be ending soon, so we must take advantage of them, right. So we went again tonight at the prompting of some other friends. It was so nice of them to invite us to the beach to enjoy a few hours in the RAIN!!!! Actually it felt really good to be in the rain because it was VERY hot today.
Anyway, after living in Michigan for almost 8 years, I am finally going to Mackinac Island this week!!!! Since baby #2 is scheduled to come 5 days before our 7th anniversary, we are going a way the end of this week. I am very excited to see the bridge and experience all the good stuff up north. We are planning a carriage ride on the island and just some good quality time together. Paul's mom and dad are keeping Andrew over night (a first) so he should have fun with them while we are gone. We will then spend the weekend at Silver Lake. We hope you all enjoy your Labor Day weekend to its fullest. Here's to good weather.
