Nicolas wanted to show me the paint job he did on his skateboard. Once I pulled my camera out he wanted a picture of the wheels in motion...I can see it spinning, can't you? We actually tried a few times, him viewing each shot after each take. This, without consulting him, I believe is the best 'action' shot.
For Nicolas, this was his last day of summer. Not for Kaitlin & Breana! They went away for a week to Tahoe w/ my parents (I'm hoping their pictures turn out.) So for me, I was still basking in the glow of summer.
Us 4 decided to play a quick game of Spades - Begin siblings vs Begin in-laws. The game never really reached the height of seriousness that it usually does - was it appetizers that distracted us or the cards? Yes, with the recipes of 52 cocktail drinks it was hard not to examine each card as you dropped it. I think I salivated at a few of the descriptions :]As time slowly passed and the sun dipped behind the trees I started wishing for an Ace of Spades!
And then dinner was served...grilled burgers, fresh green beans, beans and grilled onions...followed by freshly picked peaches & vanilla ice cream. I believe, by the look of the tree right now, that the tree provided us enough to last until the end of summer.
With full tummys & warm hearts, Dan & I jumped on the tandem for our short ride home. It was another evening that enhanced our appreciation for living down the street from family.Now to borrow that deck of cards...

You have such a wonderful family. I wish I was a Begin (smile). Let me know when you get a hold of those cards, we'll talk.
