Woke up in time to see daddy!
Lorelei slept in, right until it was time to go to school: First day of school picture on the steps!
Next to their classrooms!
They both came home with Glowing reports of a FANTASTIC first day of school!
We made it back in time for the ‘Back To school Open House’ where we got to meet the teacher, find desks, fill out paper work and participate in the school art project! A perfect way to get ready for the upcoming school year!
It is hard to believe that Tucker is staring FIFTH GRADE!!!
And Truman is in THIRD!!

(Tucker told me he was too big for pictures at his desk!)
Doing the art project:
I loved to see the outfits they chose out, and how big they are getting! 🙂 And that they are excited for school to start!
Play hard, Sleeping less, and a bunch of people = A few bottles of penicillin and 4 children with Strep. 🙂
Thank heavens kids bounce back fast. 🙂
We ended the vacation with getting an updated family pictures!

What a crazy, wonderful, fantastic 10 days it was! Already looking forward to the next reunion!
A few in-between things….
The Big PHILLIPS TOWN box village,
shopping at the DI
Painting nails multiple times 🙂
Playing around the yard, (Sandbox and tramp especially!)
Celebrating Patrick Birthday
and Mooches
We had a fun night at the river! We camped out, had some awesome minute to win it games (Thanks Jo!) and of course, played in the sandbox, had a treasure hunt and floated the river and jumped our little hearts out. It was fun to see all 4 of our kiddos jumping off the bridge this year!
Wesleys expression says it all. We love the river. 🙂
Grandma is a born dancer, and she loves to share that passion with us!
I don’t know how we didn’t end up with video of this event! 🙂
Many hot afternoons were spent here, playing in the Canal…..
And a video of a dunk:
While the little girls were tea partying it up, the boys were off for a hike and treasure hunt! 🙂
Becca made the cool jewel/rocks, and the boys loved breaking them open!
Grandma planned an amazing tea party for all of the little girls! As you can see, it was practically perfect in every way!
And a few videos, so you can see how truly awesome it was! 🙂
