As summer slides gently into fall, the days stay warm but grow shorter. September brings the promise of apple picking, pumpkin spice lattes, and changing leaves, but in the meantime, we try to hold on to beachy afternoons with all of our might.
Day 234: We took a quick trip to a gorgeous garden center and Lucy had a blast chasing butterflies and hiding among the hydrangeas.

Day 235: Lucy's favorite book is "Goodnight Stories for Rebel Girls" and she loves this one story about a motocross racer. Her aunt bought her a baseball cap, just like her favorite racer, Ashley Foliak is wearing in her picture.

Just a little girl, and her GIANT beachball. (which is actually a regular size beach ball that looks GIANT next to a little girl)!

Day 236: Monarchs in the garden!

And a Lucy in the garden too!

Day 237: Lucy has started to iron her clothes (with anything she can find, including a juice box! lol). It's the cutest!

Just Lucy and her closest friends, hanging out on the couch.

Day 238: Puddle splashing in our NEW boots!

Look, Mama, no hands!

Day 239: Coloring while Mama gets some editing done.

Like two peas.

Day 240: The sky was so pretty on our walk home from the beach.

See you next week!
