The End of Summer

We tried to squeeze in as much fun as possible over the few days before school started.

On Friday night and Saturday, we enjoyed a visit from Papa, Nana, Aunt Charlene, and Uncle Fred. With Curt sleeping after an overnight shift, we stayed out of the house most of the day. We spent the morning at the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Museum, and then we enjoyed lunch and swimming at Island Bay Yacht Club.

On the Monday before the boys started school, we met friends at Knights Action Park. It was a very cool (70's) and cloudy day, but they had a great time together. The following photos only show some of our group. We were lucky to have four moms, so the kids could split up. Unfortunately, Ethan and his mom had to leave within the first 30 minutes after he slipped on a slide and cut his head open enough to need 24 stitches.

On Tuesday, we spent the afternoon swimming at Island Bay Yacht Club, and then the big boys started school on Wednesday. Where did the summer go?!
