Photos from our last couple of weeks of summer :
The Michael Isreal live art show on the floating stage.... who knew we are such art collectors and actually bid on one of his paintings, and its now on our bedroom wall!
we enjoyed the last few concerts and dinners at the Italian Fisherman,
our favorite place to hang out and dine in the summer
more rock throwing and duck chasing...
Hanging with buddies Ava (from NYC) and Bodee (and Bodee's new baby sister June)
who were visiting from Minnesota!
Blueberry picking with friends
There they go.... the two little lovebirds Taj and Charley
We picked A LOT of blueberries! Perfect for freezing!
Lastly, and sadly, we spent as much time as we could with Charley and her family, before they moved to Charleston, South Carolina beginning of September :( Taj and Charley became best friends this past year, they were like two peas in a pod, and played so nice. On their last couple of days in NY, the BFFs went on a movie date together to see the movie "Planes" and then we had a goodbye dinner for them. Taj obviously still doesn't understand that Charley no longer lives here, he asks about her all the time and thinks he's going to see her at school or at the playground. We definitely plan to stay in touch with them and visit them at their home this Winter/Spring!
The boys presented Charley and Maggie with Chautauqua Lake hoodies :)
Such sweet friends.... it was bittersweet.
Especially since Charley's mommy, Lesley, was one of my first friends out here and to see their stuff on a moving truck and go through the process we went through 1 1/2 years go.... it felt surreal. It brought back a lot of emotion from our move, and how those friends and family must have felt when we were taking off. Its not a nice feeling to be left behind, and way more exciting to be the one moving and starting a new phase of life. With Lesley's move to South Carolina, and Brianna's move to Arizona (another friend..... actually my FIRST I met at the library storytime last summer.... I have mentioned her before in previous posts) it makes our living here much more of a reality. We are so thankful for all of our new friendships over the past year and now having friends in many more states to visit, our world surely feels smaller!
