School Time

 First Day of 8th Grade!!

Due to a staggered start, Bree was the only one who had school today.  Sitting in the car line this morning felt as if we never even had a summer break.  It all went so fast!  So we got to chatting and listing all the things we did:

Pine Lake, camping (Poplars Lake)-camping (Marble Lake)-camping (Uncle/Cousins House),  Mud Hens game, church kayaking, sleepovers, Drive-In movies, movie theatre movies, Michigan day trip, worked with her dad a lot, lemonade stands, neighborhood fireworks and birthday party, played massive amounts of Crossnet, and more!

"But..." she says "We didn't go hiking!"
