Every end has another beginning

Tomorrow is our last official day of summer vacation together. It has been one of the busiest, craziest, and most fun summers we have had. It has been awesome that the girls are older now and can do so much more. No need to run home for naps. Of course the downside to that is that mommy doesn't get naptime to get things done and so there are less phone calls and webposts made. Here is a list of the highlights and some photos of the past week: 1) Grandma and Grandpa visiting. 2) Disneyland/California Trip (Is it bad that I already want to go back?) 3) Playdates, playdates, playdates! 4) Swimming. The girls have made so much progress this summer it is amazing! We were at the pool a few days a week. They can swim underwater and jump off the diving board. We are definitely continuing swimming lessons during the school year. 5) Lakeside Amusement Park - we just went here today and it was so much fun! A little park that is the same as it was 60 years ago. It is a piece of history with an amazing kiddie ride section (carnival style). Cheap rides, $1 snowcones, slurpees, popcorn, and cotton candy with NO LINES :-) 6) Sleeping in and having lots of stay home time Now, off to work and school again. It is hard to believe that India will be in Kindergarten. She is understandably nervous/apprehensive since she is going to a new school with all new friends. She did see the playground last week and was immediately won over so I think that got her a little more excited to go. Jordyn will be a preschooler and boy is she ready! We dropped off her supplies today and from going along to get India from there for 2 years she is already an old hand at it.
