Soaking Up the Very Last Day of Summer

Labor Day has historically marked the end of summer.  It’s the last day of the Minnesota State Fair.  And, it used to be the last hurrah before school started.  Of course, in more recent years, schools (and, sports) opened well before Labor Day.   Somehow, that seemed and still seems wrong.

Some families like to enjoy and take advantage of that very last day of summer either with gatherings or that last trip to the camp ground or resort.

For our young growing family, Labor Day signified that last trip to the Dairy Queen for a cool treat.  Some years it was cold and rainy, others it was sunny and comfortable.  It didn’t matter to us.  It was our little tradition.  We would still walk the stroller or wagon over for our cool treats.

Our short walk took us to the only DQ in the Village.  

Of course, the DQ in the Village is not seasonal.  It’s open all your ‘round.

How many of you have noticed just how long those lines have been, especially during this pandemic??
