Our Labor Day

After the girls slept out in the tent Sunday night, we decided to hike Cress Creek Trail on Labor Day. 
It was a nice cool day.  A little hazy out because of the smoke so we didn't have blue skies. 
Other than a sprinkling of rain on the way down, it was great weather for our hike.

We didn't get through the entire hike this time 

but we were able to have a great view of the snake river from where we ended up.

It was so fun I'm going to have to find other hikes that the girls can do around here.   Hopefully we'll make it back up in the fall when all the leaves start changing.

I tried for one last picture of the girls, Amree wasn't interested in participating.

1st Day of School 2013

The girls started school last Wednesday, August 28th.  6th grade, 3rd grade and Kindergarten.  The first day of school is always good because we're up early and on time with little fighting.

Amree did pretty good but didn't quite understand  what was going on.
 
Jaina was so excited to go to Kindergarten.   The first day went really well.  She had lots to tell Amree when we picked her up.  She explained to her what she would get to do at school when she was big.  The days since then have been a struggle, with lots of tears.  I'm sure she'll be fine, eventually.
 
Anna was pretty excited too.  Particularly when we got to her classroom and saw that she was going to get to sit by 3 of her friends!

Amree was enjoying her 1st day of school doughnut when I got home.  She didn't seem to mind having lots of attention from Mom and Dad all day.
 
I missed Kalissa at the bus.  When I got home from taking the other 2 to the Elementary the bus had already come.  I thought about meeting her at the school and taking pictures but decided to not embarrass her.
