Summer Highlights: a link-up

Today I'm linking up with Kiki over at In Its Time again, taking part of the Circle Link-Up.

THE CIRCLE LINK-UP

This month we're talking about our Summer Highlights from 2015. 

First, can we take a moment to awe at the fact that summer is nearly over? Didn't it just start? I, for one, am not ready for snow, cold, and all that comes with the turn of the seasons. I do love me some fall, but not so much of that icy white stuff that follows....

So what did we do this summer?

Went to the lake a few times


Celebrated Father's Day



Joined a CSA


Played in the backyard quite a bit


Emily turned 4!


I ran. A lot.


Then, not so much, and my bike became my new friend.



Went to the Big City



And that about sums it up! There were some other things in there as well. A few more birthdays, some family time, lots of cooking, and only one bonfire (so far!). But the summer is not officially over yet! 

Emily and I are having a little staycation for a few days next week, and them I'm off to North Carolina for a runner's retreat at ZAP Fitness Camp


I am excited and kind of nervous! 

So how has your summer been? Link up and tell us all about it!

    1. I am definitely looking forward to it! It's not something I would typically do, but I thought it would be great prep before my first full marathon. We'll see!

  2. What a fun summer! I loved that adorable photo of your daughter with the carrots--too cute! :) And I also loved that lake view, it's the perfect view!

    Have a wonderful staycation and rest of your summer--it's not quite over yet!

    Thanks for linking up and for being patient with the link-up delay!

  4. Out of curiosity....what happens on a runners retreat? Because when I think of retreats, I think of a lot of sitting, not running :P

    1. Ha! Well yes, there is some running. But they also have classes on various running related topics, a form diagnosis session, as well as time to relax. I think we may even get massages!
