First Day of Preschool

Mom will post a traditional first day of school with the backpack picture soon. However, she couldn't resist sharing a picture of Seth's ear after his first day of preschool this year. His preschool has blue sand, and as you can see, quite a bit ended up in his ear today.

Waiting

The planned activities of our summer have almost all come to an end. After a summer of swim lessons, golf lessons, science camp, zoo camp, soccer camp, the playground, girl scout camp, the library, and the pool, all formal activities have stopped except for Lydia's soccer practices. School and preschool with all the activities that come with them begin August 24. Until then we have two weeks with no plans and are waiting for baby #4 to arrive. Mom is not too energetic at this point so we're mainly just hanging out at the house and the local playground. We're hoping our newest family member arrives soon.


Speaking of waiting, this picture is of Seth and Morgan waiting for lunch. They like to sit and watch their food cook. For a two year old and four year old, it always amazes Mom that they have the patience to sit and watch for any length of time.

10 Years Ago Today...

Well-Supervised Children

Lydia and Seth spent the week doing zoo daycamp. When Mom arrived the first day and saw the large group of 4 and 5 year olds in Seth's group, she wondered how anyone could explore the zoo with them everyday without losing at least one a day :-) However, the big group of counselors then joined the group and she saw that they had almost a 1 to 1 ratio.. which is probably what is required to spend the day at the zoo with kids in that age group. The zoo has teenage volunteer counselors in addition to their main counselors.

The kids got to explore the zoo, ride the rides, do crafts, and hear zoo stories every day.
