First day of Kindergarden!

I cannot believe Aiden began Kindergarden today!! I remember when we first moved here, and I would watch all the kids walking/riding their bikes to school every day and think "how cool would it be for Aiden to go to that school?" but I never thought we'd be here that long!! I volunteered to be Secretary with the PTO this year and I had to get to school early to help set up, so Matt walked Aiden & Maura to the school. I got a few pics but it was pretty crazy out there!

Summer AR trip

We took a week long vacation to visit Matt's parents in Arkansas in late July. We went to Branson, MO for a couple of days and went to the theme park Silver Dollar City one day. Unfortunately Aiden said he had a headache as we walked into the park, and he kept saying his torso was really itchy all day, so he didn't have such a great time :( Then he ran a fever for a few days, so we knew he was just feeling yucky. Other than that, we had a good time!

Maura did not want to ride this again!

The only roller coaster Aiden rode (with Grampa Holt)

I like to think she's telling her friend all about water conservation :)

Independence Day celebration at Benning

Ft Benning had their annual Independence Day celebration on 30 June this year. We let Maura stay up late to watch the fireworks and she did great! We set a blanket on the ground and she sat on mommy while Aiden and daddy sat nearby. We met up with Aiden's buddy Brooklyn and his family and the boys went on a few bouncers before the fireworks began. Other than the oppresive heat we had a great time!
