Though the heat sweltered on until November, our Summer ended the last weekend before Quinn started school. The base had a bash held at Penny Lake with bands, Taiko drum performances, bounce houses, BBQ, and more. The night ended in fireworks and after a week recovering from our previous fireworks disappointments, we decided to go just for the fireworks. Rylan had thrown up that afternoon as we were getting ready to go to the movies and because he was better by sunset, we loaded them up, and were able to keep our distance from people to watch. Finally, a firework display that was enjoyable. Somehow, even the weather was cool enough that we weren't sweating and could sit comfortably to watch.
The next day, Quinn started 1st Grade. The first week of school was a perfect week of weather; a much needed break from the relentless heat and humidity. We spent more time outdoors that week than, quite possibly, the entire Summer. Quinn had a great first week of school and we ended the month of August with a $1.31 Basken Robbins ice cream cone.
