summing up summer

Summer is quickly slipping away.  I spent today filling out forms for school.  It has been a wonderful summer.  We have done so many fun things!  And for that reason, I am behind on the blog. 
Here are a few of our summer highlights...
Mars Cousins Camp was a treat!  We spent a few days at Hocking Hills.  Almost all of the Mars kids were there (Ben is on a mission in Connecticut, so he wasn't there).  With all the spouses and children, there were about 45 of us!  I enjoyed running on the trails with David, Emily, Janis, Dan, Tevita, Sarah and Joe.  Hocking Hills has some amazing terrain!  To see lots more Cousins Camp photos, click here.

We've been to the beach.  Okay... not the real beach.  But the sand by the reservoir was lovely.  And there were seagulls.

The girls have had lots of quality cousin time this summer!

We have taken lots of pictures.

Alli is a budding photographer too.

She takes some very interesting pictures.
I have kept up my marathon training all summer... my long run this week will be 20 miles.  Four weeks to go until the marathon!  Almost there!
Summer has been good, but we are all excited for school to start... and more adventures to come.  Alli will be in 1st grade!  Ruby has another year of preschool.  June will still be my sidekick at home.
Hooray for changing seasons!  Hooray for exciting things to come!
