We had a bit of last minute summer fun before we started school. I took the boys for a short trip (on account of me forgetting sunscreen) to Bison's Bluff, which is so close to our house!
We did some shoe shopping for the new school year!
And we had some friends come hang out on my last weekend of freedom. Corey is Mike's buddy from his Iowa State days, he drove all the way out here from Ames! It was great to relax and spend time together on the deck.
Kelly, Ginger and Philie came over too for an impromptu party night. The kids love it when they can convince adults to hit the trampoline too!
Feats of strength!
We celebrated Evie's birthday too! She had a cool animal show birthday party!
Happy 7th to our favorite panda scientist!
On our last Monday of summer, we spent the day at Brookfield Zoo, checking out there "Dinos and Dragons" exhibit with Bamma. Cool stuff!
I headed back to work before the boys, per usual. So, they got a pool day with Bamma and Bampa!
And a more extended day at Bison's Bluff with Mrs. Laura!
One last day time ice cream trip of the summer!
Noah tested for his red belt in karate.
And then, we started the school year! Monday, August 21st, Sam started 1st grade with Miss Kearns and Noah started 4th grade with Mrs Bullon. Nerge School seems to be a great place!
Bus riders now!
The first day of school kind of put a damper on any eclipse plans, I wasn't able to see it using my camera, but we did record the live Science channel footage, cool stuff!
Bamma had to start the school year off with a themed project of course!
Bampa at the bus stop!
Finally pulled out all the costumes, after having them in storage for months!
And this weekend witnessed the return of Uncle Josh Sunday dinner. And, yep, they were able to convince him too!
So, off we go on another adventure of school. So far, everyone is adjusting really well! Isaac is looking forward to starting preschool after Labor Day!
