Summer Play

New shoes. Check! First Day of School Clothes. Check! Crayons. Check. New Teacher's Name. Check! (Ms. Anne!--yeah!) Packing in lots of summer play...Check, check and check!

 We discovered a couple of great "close in" lakes this summer, making for great day trips and picnics.

 What we haven't done a very good job of is getting Winnie out on her bike. I was sure that by the time first grade began, we'd be riding off together in the mornings, but alas, living on a hill has its drawbacks... we don't get much practicing in. Maybe this fall...??

 

 Daddy took us camping! (While mom had the house to herself for two whole days... aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.)

It's been a happy, hilarious summer...with lots of adventures, big and small. Winnie is very excited for first grade. Jezebel is non-plussed that she has to head back to the same old pre-school room (even though she really does love it) so we're focusing on how she'll be one of the Big Kids this year and, as such, a Very Important and Highly Responsible Rainbow.

 Ah, Summer!
