End of Summer



It is the end of summer, school has begun.  I am looking forward to what this school year has in store for us.  Auston will start going to the JR High youth group on a regular basis.  Kolby turns 4 is a few weeks.  Daniel is starting his 6th year at the high school.  I am getting used to the school routine again. We are still looking to buy a home.  So, juggling the school routine with my hubby's job it is going to be a challenge to find a home to buy.  If it is in GOD's plan for us, it will happen. 

We had a great summer.  Daniel went to school in Oregon, we went on a family vacation.  And we had some good family time before school started.

We went to the beach, zoo, wild animal park and hung out at home playing around with the kids. My kids love the beach.  When we go we spend all day playing and make hot dogs dinner before we start
 to head home, stopping off of course for a milk shake on the way.  Our kids usually fall asleep on the drive back up the mountain.  

Although we go to the Wild Animal Park and Zoo a lot, the kids still have a lot of fun.  We just go at their pace, going where they want to go and seeing the animals they want to see.  At the zoo, we rode the bus, it was Kolby's first time on the bus and he had a blast, wanting to go again and again.  We only went once.  Then we rode the sky ride, fun but a little scary for me.  Bouncing all around.  The kids love it.  Kolby's favorite animal to see at the zoo is the Hippo's.  

 It was a great summer, Next year we will go to Oregon and watch Daddy graduate with his Masters.  I have never been to Oregon.  I hear it is beautiful.  

We plan on taking the kids to the dive in this weekend to watch Star Wars Clone Wars and Papa is going to take us all Kayaking.  We won't have to many weekends together, due to my hubby's work schedule, so we take advantage of the ones we do have together. God Bless and have a great Labor Day Weekend Everyone!!!
