Off to her first year of full-day school.  Exciting for her, rough for Mommy!!

Zoo!

Summer 2015 was a blast.  We got to do so many different things, but the day before school started we went to the zoo because we hadn't made it there yet.  Every time we go, a different animal puts on a great show for us.  This time we got to see the baby elephant getting a bath, watched the cheetahs chasing each other and saw a funny polar bear dance!

Family Hike

We had a terrific afternoon hiking at McConnell's Mill State Park the weekend before school started.  It was a short hike, but we spent a long time on the trail while the kids climbed fallen tree trunks and all over the rocks around the creek.
