THE LAST DAYS OF SUMMER AND THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL

The last two weeks have been a whirlwind of activities! Here it is, summed up in pictures:

Our weekend trip to Idaho to surprise my parents for their 40th anniversary. (We literally showed up on their doorstep.) Our whole family was together and the little cousins had a blast!









A visit to the Children's Discovery Gardens with our great friends who are moving soon. Boo.







Water fight!





And finally...
Corinne's first day of 3rd grade!







Stay tuned for Matt's first day of kindergarten (next week).

Thats so cool that you surprised your parents! Did your mom bawl? Looks like the cousins had so much fun.

And Corinne is so pretty! How does she like 3rd grade?

To Jennifay! No, her Mom did not bawl, but her Dad did.

I didn't know you surprised your mom and dad, that's so fun. Can you believe how fast our kids are growing. Unbelievable sending our girls to third grade!

So much fun! We had a great time at the Children's Garden with you guys. I'm so glad you got pics of the kids' water fight. We are going to miss you and your family when we move, but we will stay in touch and try to get together when we are in town.
