1st Day of School-August 17th?

Everybody looks so fresh and ready to go!  I feel like the first hour of the day is the most chaotic!!  Somehow we make it out on time, (I hate being late).  The kids all used their bookbags, lunch boxes, and tennis shoes from the last year.  I don't buy every year.  Ethan is in 5th grade, Jonah is in 3rd, and Amber is in 1st grade...Giana goes in next year!!

1st Annual Raingutter Regata

We did a real regatta in Scouts this year.  The soap boats last year didn't cut it.  We did it in August thinking that it would be a perfect activity for the Summer.  I think the boys almost hyperventilated though!  They were excited.

Jonah

 Ethan's awards, and boat.

Jonah won 2nd place all around.  Good going!  He must have some good lungs.
