last days of summer

Even though the calendar says November is less than a week away, today the mercury read summertime. While others are carving pumpkins and sipping seasonal lattes, we're enjoying on more bite of watermelon and entertaining thoughts of visiting the pool. I miss my wool scarves and boots, but I know the kids will enjoy a coat-free Halloween next week. Today was supposedly our last--as in final, for real--90 degree day of the "season," and here is how we've spent the waning days of summer in Austin.

Digging for dinosaur bones...

Spotting owls...

Eating wood chips at the playscape...

Taking one last bite of watermelon...
