Held On

Yesterday we held onto summer for one more day. Our family hit the always fun Millennium Park, where we swam, played in the sand, enjoyed the splash pad, and soaked up the sun. As we pretended that there was plenty of summer, we briefly ignored the leaves starting to change color, the plans of apple picking, and other fall activities. It was a wonderful way to end things. Now I feel fully ready to embrace the fall, the color, and crisp days ahead. In a word, it was Awesome!
