Schools Back in Session

Today is Claire's fist day of 2nd grade and she was so excited that she was up at 5:30 am ready to get the day started. It makes it so much nicer than having to drag her out of bed. Mark took Friday and Monday off work and we had a weekend vacation before school started back. We hung out on the beach of Silver Lake at St. Joseph Michigan. Some of the other favorite activities of the weekend were picking peaches at an orchard, playing at a great park in Berrien Springs, and eating Chinese takeout at our hotel while watching the Olympics. Now it's time to get back to the routines of a busy school year. Luckily I got Hope to nap in the tent, because she definately doesn't like being confined to a small area and crawled out of the tent soon after I put her in it.
We got to the beach early enough that we had it pretty much to ourselves for a little while.

What fun! That is where our family went on vacation, too!! I'm sure K&K told you about that. They spent an afternoon with us. Check our blog for pics from our SW Michigan trip.
You're kids are such cuties -- and Claire is very talented with that headstand. Wow!
