Bye Bye Summer!

Well, I don't know how it happened, but summer came and went and now school has begun. Just a little recap of our last couple of months:

In May, Paige and I were able to get to Texas to see my beautiful niece, Emma, and handsome nephew, Jason, graduate from Concordia University. It was such a fantastic weekend! (which was, incidentally, Paige's first time on an airplane.)

School ended in a flurry of activity!

Then it was, "Helloooo, Summer!" We hightailed it to Texas.

At Amy's Galveston beach house:

We got to see Nana and Papa

Night swimming at Arti's

THEN I got to fly to Denver to actually see my husband. (Thank you family for watching the Glynnlets!) He had been in Denver for what seemed like forever. We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary!

We got to celebrate Mama's 70th Birthday

The kids went to their first drive-in movie with the Browns

Then back to Georgia we went.

In one week, Hannah and AJ went to overnight camp at Doe River Gorge while Paige and Jenna went to Circus Camp.

And what did Adam do? He had Camp Adam.

Lots of time at the pool

A trip to 6 Flags

We earned free Chick Fil-A

And then...

Happy 12th Birthday, Abby Jane!

For her birthday, she wanted to go camping. So off we went to Vogel State Park. And this is the best park we've been to so far! We ate, hiked, ate, swam, and ate some more. It was a wonderful couple of days!

We got a fun visit from Arti, Hope, Stratton, and Harper

We had visits from other friends, too (hope you appreciate me not posting the photo, Cady, since you said you didn't like it!).

And then it happened. BAM! Summer vacation ended.

And School began.

The first day back in school.

Hannah is in 8th Grade

Abby is in 7th Grade

Paige is in 5th Grade

Adam & Jenna are in 3rd Grade

It will be a wonderful school year. How can it not be with these amazing kids?!
