Yesterday we enjoyed our last official day of summer and went canoeing at Raab's Lagoon. The kids really wanted to try out our inflatable raft we bought years ago so we towed them behind.
Once we finished canoeing the kids each had a turn on their own paddling the raft.
Today was our first day back to school. Alia is in first grade this year and is in the multiage program with Mrs. Wilson. She is in a classroom with 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders. She will stay with this group of 1st graders for the next three years. She will also have the same teacher for 2nd and 3rd. Her teacher this year is retiring after the school year is over. She absolutely loved school and kept saying, "It was the best day ever!" Her favorite part today was working with her third grade buddy and making a tin-foil tube. She was also ecstatic that she answered the science questions right when the teacher asked why the tin foil ball fell faster than the tinfoil tube.
She lost another tooth yesterday.
Avery is in 3rd grade this year with Mrs.Wilke. Despite all of his reservations he had he was in good spirits this morning. He said he was excited to see how the day went. His favorite part was of course recess so he could run around and gym class because he got to exercise.
We started soccer last week. This is their first year. Avery wasn't too excited at first because there were a lot of players that had been in for a few years and were really good. He did enjoy the scrimmage on Friday.
Alia loves soccer and is a very determined girl. She loves to practice soccer and wants to get better and better.
