Rounding Out the Summer

A couple of days before school began in August we met up with some friends and headed out to explore the new reservoir that they opened by our house.  It was kind of a fun place for the kids although I wish that they would have brought in real sand for the "beach" instead of the gross, gravelly stuff.  Sand or no sand, the kids still attempted to make sand castles and do other "beachy" activities.

 

 

 

We also started another year of AYSO in August.  Jacey missed the age cutoff by only a month to play with her school friends and actually had to play on a team with 1st and 2nd graders.  Although she didn't have any friends on her team, she seized the opportunity to become her team's star player and scored most of their goals.  Her team only lost a couple of games all season. Unfortunately, Brooklyn's team had a tough season but she still had fun and also scored quite a few goals.  Here are a few pics of them in all their soccer glory:

 

 

 

 

 

And finally, you know it's time for kids to go back to school when they are so bored that they start dressing up their little brother.  Poor Landon.
