The Last Hurrah

"Summer will end soon enough, and childhood as well."

- George R.R. Martin

The summer was fun, busy and crazy at times too. Through it all though, I recognized that things were about to change. Tavish was going to school. Sure, he's been at a Montessori school, but this felt somehow very BIG and very different. As part of our 'last hurrah' together, the kids and I went off to the Beach by bike spending one of our last days of summer the way we spent most of our days - the three of us adventuring together...

Checking out some boats en route

Catching a nap en route too

Taking a moment to enjoy the water

...before adding more rocks to it

Journeying out on the pier

The boy and the boulders we climbed together

Look who woke up to join us in our climbing!

Mmm, this might be tasty...(um, no!)

"Nothing, nothing felt better than the way the sand
felt beneath my feet. It was both solid and shifting.
Constant and ever-changing. It was summer."
- Jenny Han

It was a beautiful day for a bike ride. Tavish rode on his own (10km round trip) and Keva rode in the Chariot. We had an incredible time together throwing rocks (and preventing Keva from eating a few), climbing boulders, digging in sand, feeling free and just generally being happy to be together...
