Fall Is Here!!

Fall is here and I am loving the weather!  Hopefully it stays cool like this for a few months and doesn't get cold too soon.  We are excited because we have a few big vacations coming up.  In November we are going to St. Lucia for my best friend's wedding.  We will have a 2 day layover in St. Louis, so we will get to see Jeff's family and friends.  Then, in December we are going to Thailand over Christmas.  We are going to spend two days in Bangkok, then head south and spend the rest of our time on the beaches.  After Christmas we will only have two short months before we come home!  Time flies!


In August, we went to the zoo with our new friends Mark and Rachel.

 After a long day of shopping, we needed some takeout cocktails!

Jeff and I stopped for a glass of wine overlooking the city!

OLYMPIC PARK

We spent the day at Olympic Park riding bikes and playing cards.  It was really fun and nice to get out and do something for the day.

Flags from all countries!

FIELD TRIPS
We have had a few field trips  lately at school.  We went to a stream one day and learned about the plants and animals their...boring.

SPORTS DAY
We had a sports day which was a lot of fun.  We split all the kids into two teams: The Red Team and The Blue Team.  They really got excited and cheered a lot for their teams.  In the end, the red team won, but I'm not sure that was accurate :) 

 BLUE TEAM!

PICTURE DAY
Since Jeff's class is 7 and will be graduating in February, they are getting ready for their graduation album.  The kids have to dress up in their school uniform and take pictures with Jeff.  

 This is exactly how we teach our kids everyday...NOT!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
One of my girls had her birthday party this month.  The kids love birthday parties!!
 All the girls!

Hope everyone enjoys the wonderful fall weather!!!
