feeling?<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>So, last week when I said I was ready for fall?\u00a0 Well, someone must have been listening, because we got a taste of it!!\u00a0 We had 2 days where the high was only in the low 80s, and all of sudden, the nights are cooling off.\u00a0 It is like heaven.\u00a0 Urijah and I have been taking total advantage of it, too.\u00a0 We have spent a ton of time outside&#8230;playgrounds, walks, kicking the ball, and just running around like crazy.\u00a0 It&#8217;s been so nice.\u00a0 And even today we did something very unique&#8230;we met up with some other moms and kids who like to have fun and we went stand-up paddleboarding on the lake in Austin.\u00a0 It was our first time and it was a huge success!\u00a0 I was able to stand up when I was by myself, and U got on the board with me and we tooled around the lake for a bit.\u00a0 He did great and when I asked him if he liked it he did the sign for &#8216;more&#8217;.\u00a0 I think that&#8217;s a yes.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"http:\/\/www.shereadsinthedark.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/09\/1174569_4777059403129_1124879530_n.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"
