The simplicity and perfection of summer nights

Even with an upcoming move and the stress and work that comes with that, we've had some wonderful family days/nights this summer. I don't want this summer to be remembered as the year we packed and moved. So far, I don't feel like the kids feel that way. We've spent many days at the Little Dipper Pool, which I'm so grateful we joined. We hesitated spending the money, but it has been such a fun community and family activity.

We've also allowed for flexibility in our schedule, which is fun! The kids have had some late nights because we've been spontaneous and headed for ice cream well after bedtime, or stayed at the pool until 9. Most nights, have proven to be worth the possible "pain" the next morning.

Below are a few photos from one such evening. Good old fashioned, family fun!
