The Week Before School

After we got home from Belize, we had one week before school started. We spent some of it recovering from the stomach bug (Finn) and some getting reacquainted with our toys (Ezra). I spent some time scrambling to make sure everything was in order for school — paperwork, school clothes, supplies, etc. We had a few fun activities as well.

There was some tent and fort camping.

We went to Aveson for the Kindergarten Open House, where Finn met his teachers (Jessica and Vonni) and some of his classmates.

We went on a hike in the Arroyo with some of our Aveson friends.

Ezra got a new, bigger bike and we met some friends at the park for bike riding.

On Labor Day, Vanessa and Thomas came over for some physics, play time, and dinner. The boys played hockey and rode bikes.

And then the week was done and we were staring Kindergarten and Second Grade in the face!
