Labor Day Blowout

Labor Day is the last official weekend of summer at our beach house community.  There is lots of celebrating for kids and adults alike.  On Saturday we got to enjoy bouncing houses and a carnival complete with snow cones for the kids.   Then it was dinner with our all beach friends. On Sunday we had our second annual beach bash down at the bay beach where the kids (and adults) got to kayak and ride the SUPs (Stand Up Paddleboards).  It is amazing how many kids they can get standing up on one of those SUPs at the same time.  Then Sunday night we had a camp out... complete with tent, sleeping bags, smores, and fireworks.  It was definitely not a rough weekend.  In fact, the weather was nearly perfect and the companionship second to none.

First Day of First Grade

Again, Lily was so excited to start school again this year.  Her new teacher (Ms. Ziadi) seems wonderful and she was so excited to see all her school friends again, including her good friend Root below.  As you can see, her bus stop is a pretty busy place in the mornings.  Looks much like my metro stop.

Night out on the town

D.C. hosts a restaurant week twice a year where you can get some incredible deals on great food at the best restaurants in town.  So what better reason to take Dad to Morton's for some good steak.  Which actually turned out to be not so great, but better luck next time.  At least he got to see his two girls dressed up for the evening.
