Week 33: Nearing the End

A horrible thing happened the other day. . .

Alex woke up at 6 am yesterday morning, which unfortunately is fairly typical, but. . .

it was dark outside.

And I realized the inevitable.

The end of summer is almost here.

I love love love summer.  I love the heat.  I love the long days.  I love the sun.  I love being able to go outside and play.  I love July's fireworks.  I love August's fresh garden produce.  I love going camping.  I love hanging out at parks.  I love playing in water.  I love going on walks along the parkway.  I love having BBQs.  I love it all! 

And I hate when it ends.

It always seems like summer will last forever, and somehow every year I am always surprised and disappointed when the days start getting shorter, the temperature drops, and I'm left with so many unfulfilled plans of going on hikes and hanging out with friends.  Before you know it, we will be back to the bitter cold smoggy days of January.  Boo. 

On the upside, Matt and I have tried to make the most of it this month.  Last week was camping up Logan Canyon.  This week we went camping with some extended family at my parents cabin in WY - which any event with my family is bound to be interesting and this trip didn't disappoint!  This week we set out for a third and final time camping with friends.  I only broke out my camera once this last weekend, and here are the best pictures.  Sorry grandparents, no good ones of Alex this time; but in my defense, Alex has dominated over the last couple weeks.  It's time for a little break :).  

I hope you all make the most of the last couple weeks of summer!
Happy photographing!
