Celebration

Tomorrow is a new beginning for us. We'll officially have a 2nd grader, Kindergartner, and a preschooler reporting for orientation in the school room. Then Thursday begins our first full day of school. So today was cause for celebration! We celebrated the end of lazy summer days,  the beginning of new routines and fun learning adventures.


It was a PERFECT day (80 degrees, low humidity) to pack a picnic lunch and head out to Pony Pasture on the James River. It was a first for the boys! Here are some pictures that capture how much fun we had.

Of course the boys needed walking sticks!

 It was all about adventure for this guy. 

The more jumping and running the better. 

 Thankful for one cautious boy who was happy to pretend fish. 

So happy to be outside exploring!

 Two little monkeys.

So glad I packed extra clothes... I had a feeling this would happen. 

Definitely need to make this a back to school tradition!
