Yesterday, my family and I finally got to go to the beach here in Northern Indiana. The temperature is finally perfect. Normally, we would have been several times by now, but the temps have only been in the 70s during the day and the 50s at night, so the water really wouldn't have been warm enough to swim in. Too bad the summer is over for the the school kids. Tomorrow is the first day of school, so today is the last day the local pools will be open. I never even made it to the local pool this summer.
The kids here go back way too early, in my opinion. When I was in school we were always out of school after the first week in June--usually the 5th or 6th--and didn't go back until the day after Labor Day. That way, everybody could vacation up until the last weekend of August. This all changed sometime in the 1990s, or so. Why, why, why did they change it? It has to be because of money. The middle of August is just too early. It is sometimes hot (which would be perfect for swimming) when school starts and too cool when school ends.
Anyway--we did have a great weekend. I'm posting some new pics of my granddaughters to go with this.
