Labor Day / End of Summer

On the long-awaited last day before school started, we took a hike in the Arroyo to play in the creek with a few friends from Aveson. It’s a kid’s paradise. They caught frogs.

And put them in water bottles.

Then showed them off to the parents, who took pictures, of course.

They eventually let the frogs go and moved on to swimming and playing in the water. Finn found a stick.

Finn: a stick!

Ezra found a bigger stick.

And fun was had.

Later, I took the boys to Slaw Dogs for lunch while Bruce worked.

Even though it’s his favorite place, a napless Finn still looked grumpy.

Even later, we let Ezra pick a place for dinner to celebrate First Grade. Growing up too fast.
