1ST GRADE

Today was Ayden's first day of 1st Grade. He was so excited to start a new school year. He woke up this morning probably around 6:30 am and was ready to go. When I told him that school didn't start till 9:20am he replied, "I have to wait till lunch time?" I guess 9 o'clock sounded like a long time to wait. It is funny how quiet the house is with him gone to school!! I can't believe he is this old already!

You scream, I scream, LAURYN screams for ice cream!

We got the kids ice cream for a snack at the Coldwater Lake Observatory. Lauryn knows what ice cream is, she loves it!! She saw me walking holding the "frozen reason for her waking up today" and started screaming in excitement. It didn't take long for her to dive right in. Then she had to show how happy she was. CHEESE!!! (Can you say class clown??!!)

Don't Feed the Bears!!

When we got to Mt St Helens, we were not allowed to bring food into the observatory so we ate some lunch in the car before going in. There were chipmunks there that have obviously been fed before. They came right up to the kids begging for food. We had stray goldfish that had landed on the floor of the van(courtesy of Miss Lauryn) so Ayden and Meysa got to feed them those. Only after when we were leaving the second observatory did we see a sign asking people not to feed the animals (there is actually a $250 fine). OOPS!!!
This chipmunk came back and back and back for more!
Here he is running away with his latest find(bottom left corner).
Meysa and Ayden were both very calm and still as the chipmunk came to get more loot!

OK, that's enough food. Notice how the cheeks are wider than the body!!!

Mt. St. Helens

We took another trip (again after a post call day for Ryan) for labor day. It was amazing to see the power and destruction that happened back in 1980 and how things have changed since. Ayden thought the volcano was really neat. He wanted to hike to the Lava Dome!!!
