Back to School

Charlie started 2nd grade on Monday.

Claire started Kindergarten today (she has more pictures because starting Kindergarten is a big deal).

Magic confetti to help her sleep tight for her first big day

She was super excited to ride the bus with her big brother

I had to check in at lunch and see how things were going- she loves school, just like I knew she would!

She found a friend from Charlie's baseball games while she was at the playground

Hockey

Charlie got to try a little hockey this morning.  He wants to play this season but says he's a little nervous about how rough it is.  "Mom, you have to push people out of the way."  We'll see how it goes!  If it's not his thing then we won't be broke...

Vikings Training Camp

The kids and I had lots of fun at the new training camp even though we had to leave early due to the weather.

Camper

We spent the last summer night at the camper for this year.

Annual photo

Trying to stream fish with kids and tons of bugs is great fun!

Splitting and stacking wood

Farm Sleepover

We spent the night at the farm and had lots of fun.  Love spending time there!

Riding the horses

Swimming at night

Fire and s'mores

Fun places to sleep- Charlie thought the dog bed was super comfy

The new kitty (she's a keeper!)

Charlie's proud find

Fishing at the pond and in the creek

Claire getting brave and going where the crayfish go 

(this picture fails to capture the screaming and crying)

Checking the garden and picking lots today!
