Oops- there was one more weekend before school started. We made a trip to the aquarium and Newport and saw all our favorites, and ended the way summer is supposed to end- two happy kids completely wiped out in the back of the van. THAT was the real end of summer, though the weather stayed nice for the rest of September, and we enjoyed trips to the farmer's market and to our parks.
Then, it came. Owen and Ben's first day of school, and at the same school for the first time. Owen started second grade this year, in Mrs. Straub's class. Ben started pre-school, with Miss Jo. The Zion principal is on Facebook this year, so I was able to download some pictures of their first day. Zion starts the school year at chapel, during which Ben got quite nervous about the new school, and we were not successful at sending him out with the rest of his class. Owen, however, is an old pro at this and walked up proudly with the rest of the second grade- most of the same group that he's been with since kindergarten- and walked to his classroom. After a bit of a rough start, Ben enjoyed carpet time with Miss Jo and has grown to enjoy preschool. He still doesn't like chapel much.
