First Day of School

Luke started third grade, and Jack started fifth this year. It's hard to believe this will be Jack's last year in an elementary school. They are both growing up so fast! 

Hawaii

Right before school started, we took a week to go to Hawaii. It was my favorite vacation ever! It was an active vacation. We went on a daytime snorkeling cruise and a nighttime snorkel with manta rays. I think we'd all agree that the manta ray snorkel was our favorite adventure of the entire vacation. We visited Black Sand Beach, Green Sand Beach, Volcano National Park. We saw sea turtles, coral reefs, manta rays, and Jack even saw a white tipped reef shark! It was an awesome vacation that made all of us want to vacation together again soon!

Minnesota Summer 2019 and Amelia Jo

As soon as school let out, the boys, Hattie, and I scooted to Minnesota to meet Baby Amelia and spend time with our family. Jack's whole goal for the summer was to catch a walleye. Uncle John helped him attain that goal, along with northern pike, bass, and sunnies. Luke just soaked up as much time as he possibly could with Aunt Kathy and the pugs. We learned a new game from Ike and Megan, CATAN, which has become our family's favorite. We had an amazing summer, and our time in Minnesota was definitely a highlight.

Jack's 4th Grade Fieldtrip to iFly

Jack's class is studying force and motion in science, so what better way to experience it than indoor skydiving? The blog cuts the edge off videos, but if you click on the video it will play larger on YouTube.
