First Day of School 2012

One Last Summer Cookout

Steve and Brandi invited the family out for a back-to-school cookout and canoeing on their property out in Hibbard.  Thanks for a fun time, guys!

Celebrate Youth

Every year on the day before school starts the city throws a huge party at the local park called "Celebrate Youth." It was such a blast! Carousel rides, photo booths, carnival games, ice cream, cotton candy, popcorn, water cannons, mechanical bull, prizes -- all for free!  It was a great day spent with cousins and friends.  We can't wait until next year!
