I love late summer and early fall! And even though it can be pretty hectic with the start of school and all the activities that go with it, I have to admit that I really look forward to the arrival of the new season! I think what I like most is that you get a taste of the best of both seasons…warm, sunny days that morph into slightly crisp nights still filled with the sounds of summer. Warm enough to be perfectly comfortable and yet a soft sweater can tag along like a welcomed friend. So about a week ago, my family got to attend a fun event that combined the seasons…an outdoor movie viewing right in the middle of a football field! The University of Toledo held a family movie night…celebrating the last days of summertime activities AND the beginning of much anticipated fall sports! Families were invited to bring their own blankets, munchies, beverages, even footballs…and pick a spot on the field to enjoy the show! And on top of that–they had games & activities for kids of all ages…and the football & volleyball teams were there too! Did I mention it was free!? I have to say that I was pretty impressed to be out on the field…a fun perspective of what the players experience. But the best part of the evening was spending time with family and friends…enjoying some of the last moments of summer together!
