The last of summer for my family was August 27th. The next day school would start and we were determined to make the most of our last day together.
I am, at heart, a sincerely melancholy guy.
That day we'd been invited to a picnic in, of all places, a pet cemetary. I'd agreed to sponsor part of the daylong pet picnic/carnival and invited my in-laws and their service dog Zsa Zsa too.
Zsa Zsa finished near the top in musical chairs, btw.
There were several activites for pets, most of which kept our interest for a bit.
But the kids got antsy after a bit. And it's hard to concentrate when you're bombarded by hornets left and right. BTW, I love this next pic:
Thankfully there was a (less than inspired) magic show for the kids, in which YaYa as usual volunteered.
and a makeup session:
[That thing on YaYa's belt is a candy dispenser the girls were in love with for a few days, before (of course) they lost/broke it.]
Afterwards we and the in-laws hit up Chuck E Cheese, where the kids enjoyed the last part of the evening, and the summer.
School awaited! . . .
