Labor Day Weekend - Rhode Island

We joined in on the annual Labor Day beach weekend

that Shelly Howe puts together. This year she found a

place near the ocean in Rhode Island.

We had lots of fun!

Almost the whole crew. Brian, Lindi, and the boys joined

us again on Sunday afternoon.

The ladies enjoying an evening chat.

These 3 look like they are up to no good!

First Day Of School

Third Grade.....Oh My!!!!

Breanna's first day of school was today (wed. 27th)

Braden's school (Kindergarten) starts after Labor Day.

Waiting at our bus stop.

Braden was upset that his school wasn't starting today to.

Braden took this picture....Bye Mom.

Watching for the bus.

Here it is - Bye Bre!

Braden and I got in the car and met Breanna at school

so we could meet her teacher.

Breanna and her new teacher.

Breanna with her friend Amber - they have been

in the same class since first grade.

We picked up Bre at Ellie and Ava's bus stop after school.

Ellie is also in 3rd grade, and Ava started 1st grade.

A GREAT FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL!

A few misc. pictures

Well I am way behind on blogging!!!!

It doesn't help that I took 780 pictures during

the 2 and a half weeks that Melina & Jenna

were here. I still have a bunch more entries

to do before I actually get current, but anyway

I'll keep plugging away a bit at a time.

A cook out at Leighton & Judy's after work day.

Who's eating down by the river?

Braden, Brooke, Megan, Melina, Bre, and Jenna.

A great shot of Melina and Uncle Kevin

The crazy hunters are out.

Shooting with style!

A pyramid!

The supper sluggers are out!

After Monday night ball Kevin pitched a bunch

of balls to the kids so they could have a game.

They hit and ran the bases till we couldn't see anymore.

Jenna had a cute little leg kick after each hit.

Watch out these 2 girls were quite the serious sluggers!

Bradens taking after Kevin, he prefers to hit lefty.

A rainy evening

This is a bit out of order it was actually the evening

after our pool day.

Janice and the kids came for supper.

The kids were determined to eat out on the back

deck rain or shine. We had all the patio umbrellas up

as well as a couple of golf umbrellas.

The boys had fun riding in the rain.

After supper we decided to take a walk with

the kids we walked to the farm to see the goats.

We got up to the goat pen only to find them a bit

smarter than us out of the rain and in there little house.

When they saw the herd of kids come into the pen

they decided it would be much safer to stay hidden in the barn.

The whole gang:

Jenna

Breanna

Bella

Melina

David

Braden

Kate, and Kevin.

A cute video of the kids marching along:
