Just thought I would share some of the photos from the end of our summer. I posted backwards though....whoops!
Last day before school...the ice cream man came (before dinner) YUM!!

Ready for the 1st day of preschool. Hayden is in the 4 year old class and Lilly is in the 3 year old class.

Showing off their backpacks.

Lilly and her teacher Mrs. Getman. Lilly was actually really happy and excited, although it doesn't look like it in this picture

Hayden and his teacher Mrs. Stephens

At the end of the summer, we went on a week long trip down to Eugene and then back up to the cabin. We took 2 days to get there. Here is our 1st night of camping along the Columbia River. 1st attempt at tent camping with kids rather than the tent trailer. Other than the train that went by every hour, waking up Mark and I, the kids did great and slept great.

Eating hot dogs the 1st night

Helping dad set up the tent

Excited to be in the tent

Helping Auntie Kim crush oreos for the ice cream pie....mmmmm

1/2 way through our excursion to the ocean we stopped at a small cafe with GLORIOUS sweet rolls, thanks to Randy

At the ocean (Florence) we ate at Mo's.

Enjoying his fish and chips

Very windy day at the ocean, but still fun...even after seeing a SHARK!

This is about as close as we got to the water

We went swimming at the Saisslin's church camp, Camp Harlow. It was a great day!
