Back to School

Sam had meet the teacher on Wednesday and headed back to school on Thursday. He said he wasn't ready to go back to school but I think there was some excitement to be returning. He has really enjoyed his first few days.

Ella had her meet the teacher on Thursday. She is more than excited to go back to school and has been counting down the days. She enjoyed going to meet Miss Kim and playing in her classroom. I think they are both going to have good years!

Tourney Time

The Nationwide Tour comes to our country club each year for a golf tournament. We have never been before but Sam really wanted to go watch the golfers on tour so I took him out there on Sunday afternoon. It was a nice day weather wise and he enjoyed seeing his friends and watching some of the golf (in that order). He was a little surprised about how much slower it is watching golf live than on television. Luckily, our club had a tent where you could sit in the shade with complimentary ice-cream which helped pass the time between golfers. We did get to see the eventual winner play through our spot on the ninth green which was exciting. Sam is already hoping to return next year.

Silver Dollar City

Look ma, no hands! Ella, Grandma and Sam on the kids' coaster.

We finally made it down to Silver Dollar City this year. The heat this summer has been crazy and I haven't been wanting to brave it but we did. My mom took a day off work to join us and the kids had an absolute blast despite the heat. Surprisingly the lines for the water rides were not too bad. We tried to keep cool and had a good day.
