Crazy, Busy, Happy: Goodbye Summer Days

We only have a few days left and our days of laying by the pool all afternoon are done. Both kids will be back to school next week and our daily routines will be back to rigid schedules. But, to be honest, I think we are all ready for it!

We had a great summer: pools, play dates, family time, hikes in the wilderness and lots of time in the boat. Last week we took our yearly trip to the cabin! We had a couple good days of weather as well as a couple rainy days, but yet enjoyed our time like we always do! Benton mentioned yesterday that he really misses "the sun rising down on the 'platoon'" aka the sunset on our friends pontoon! If you ask Kynzley what her favorite part of the week was she'll quickly answer with "the stand up jet ski"! The girl will try anything!!! She did awesome and had a blast!

After a great week at the cabin we headed home to have the weekend to recuperate and get ready for ..... deep breath ..... Benton to start school! Ahhh!! Yes! Benton started school this past Monday. They don't stay little long and Benton has kindly reminded me of that. He headed off to 4K on Monday and I'm pretty sure next week we'll be moving him into college. He was so excited to start and when the day came he ran right into his classroom and was ready to learn. When I picked him up he said he had a great day, made new friends and even played cops and robbers on the playground. We are excited to see how much he grows this year!
