End of Summer

Today is the last day of summer and first day of autumn, my favorite time of year. All morning I have been thinking about cool weather, apple cidar, pumpkins and of course Halloween. And I thought about Honeybunny and my summer bucket list. We have finished most of it with maybe only 3 things left but we were very busy for the most part.

Above was one of his favorite from his bucket list and that was to hold a bee. So we went to a Bee Festival at Rockwood Park and he got to see the bees in their hives too. The bee he has on his hand liked chocalate flavoring and as soon as it had a taste it walked right over onto his hand.

One item on our list was to go to a baseball game and his favorite girl Jillian just happened to have a game one evening near here. We enjoyed watching her play and he had the best time though with his friends from school. I loved the happy look on his little face as he and the other two boys were hamming it up !

Another item was to go to the local Farmers Market and find two things you have not eaten before and try them ! This was a fun experience for them as they seen things they liked such as corn and berries but also a lot of things they didnt know about. We ended up getting a Canary Melon or crenshaw melon and some muscadine grapes. The grapes were a better choice as the melon was more of a too sweet cantelope type. But we had fun anyways and later went to follow the geese. More on our summer adventures later
