Back to School?

So... today was the first day of public school in our area. Since we homeschool we decided that a field trip was in order for our first day...



OK, well, these are not my kids...but you get the idea.

The place is normally so crowded that you have to stand in line for 1/2 hour or more sometimes. But today? We rode the Master Blaster twice in five minutes! It's days like these that I love being a homeschooler!

We'll be taking a teacher break for the next two weeks and then...sigh...back to the daily grind.

Summertime is almost over. What a fast time huh. It just went by in a flash. Those pictures look really fun though. Hope all is going well on the return back to the grind. I know the feeling. We start next week.

Bye Mindy.

I can't believe how fast the summer is flown by. That is a great way to start off the school year. Looks like so much fun.

Hope you have a great year.

SO FUN! I can't believe it's almost fall!
You guys were so smart to wait for the exact right day to go to the waterpark. Ours shuts down when school starts, though, because they lose all their workers.

I was searching through the pictures looking for your kids and thinking how cool it was that you got the angles you did!!! I bet my kids would love to do that next year for their first day-or any time at all! Miss you!

Awesome idea! We need to do something like that. I am really excited to get started homeschooling. I hope my kids won't hate me!

BTW, I pray your brother will be okay. I'm going to search your blog for more details.
