After our family vacation and celebrating all the birthdays, the girls and I stayed a week longer in Utah to have some more time with family before school started.
We went paddle boarding, rafting, and swung into the ponds of Mona.
We hung out with our fun Aunt Koko before her BIG move to Hawaii.
We had a sleep over with cousins.
I went on a hike with my family up North American Fork Canyon.
Grandpa let the cousins explore his treasure chest.
We went swimming at grandma and grandpa Koplin's pool- no poop this time!
We went to the movie theatre.
And we explored the Museum of Curiosity.
I drove back to Utah by myself, which is quite the distance. I had to be back for Open House at the school for the girls. They were pretty excited to see friends again!
Jane is in 1st grade with Mrs. Moore. Her teachers has been teacher for over 25 years. She has 21 students in her class this year (a lot more than last year-15), but has the help of a Teacher Aide, Mrs. Steffel.
Kate is in 3rd grade with Mrs. Harvey. This is her teacher's first year teaching.
Kate competed in her first swim meet. She got 1 first place and 2 second places in the event. She swam 25m freestyle, 25m backstroke, and was in a 200m freestyle relay.
The first day of school is finally here! Kate had a difficult time coming up with "when I grow up I want to be...". But she finally came up with "Beautician", which I find very suitable with all her nail polishes and spa kits and make-up. She's ready to start this year stylish!
Jane wants to be a missionary when she grows up. She has definitely been influenced by her friends at school and her grandparents serving a mission.
After the first week of school, we had an exciting trip planned for the girls. We took them to go see the Broadway musical Wicked in Dallas.
Afterwards, we regretted taking them to Texas de Brazil. We paid $25 for Jane to eat croutons and water!
