While it's been quite a hot summer and I'm really looking forward to those first crisp fall breezes, it has gone fast! I almost can't believe that Labor Day is here. The end of summer and the beginning of the school year are always a bittersweet blend, so we've compiled some fun ways to spend this last unofficial weekend of summer. It's the perfect time for one last family event to take photos and capture the moment, enjoy the warm weather, and spend it together.
