Summer's End

Summer is coming toward an end.  Most schools around here are already in session, but the grands' schools don't start until after Labor Day.  Today was the last swim lesson for the summer, and afterwards we stopped at the drug store for a hair brush for Nora.  She spotted the slap bracelet, and since it was on sale I just had to get it for her.  Of course, I probably would have bought it anyway.

We had a zoo trip with ice cream, more pictures tomorrow.  What I've learned is that the "field trip" spots aren't very crowded during these last August weeks.  We had a primo zoo parking spot and the crowd was about half of what it was earlier in the summer.  The grands had five carousel rides and two train rides.  Tomorrow:  Kings Island, and that will be the end of my twice-a-week "babysitting" gig for this year.
