Savoring Summer

I know that I am not alone when I say that I don't want the summer to end. I really enjoy the long days, and the fact that I am up earlier in the morning without the alarm clock. The energy I have in the summer is unlike any other time of year for me.
So far it's been a great summer. We've done several day trips and had some great beach weather here in New England. We've actually had a great summer as far as weather goes.
Recently we went up to Maine again. I love Maine. We spent the day in York and then headed to Ogunquit for ice cream and a nice stroll along the coastline.

Soon we'll be getting ready for the kids to go back to school. My kids are actually excited to enter a new school year, and see all their friends again. The lazy days of summer with no schedule and not a lot of obligations is nice, but it can get a little stressful at times because I always feel as if I have to be entertaining them. So even though I wish that the summer weather can continue, I am looking forward to getting the kids back into a routine.
What do you think? Are you ready for summer to be over? Are you looking forward to a new school year?

Enjoy the rest of you summer!!!
