We drove up to Arkansas to visit Nathan's family one last time before school started. We had a great visit. The girls are so good in the car and loved listening to me read Ramona the Pest.
We did lots of swimming. It took LOTS and LOTS of coaxing, but we finally got Abigail to jump off the side and even the board. We also met several friends at a local splash park.
Our biggest water adventure was a trip to NRH2O. My sister takes her students there in the spring for an end of year trip/festival. As a perk they give all the orchestra directors 4 free tickets to use anytime that summer. Kara was nice enough to share her tickets with us. Both girls are very cautious so we weren't really sure if they would enjoy it or do any rides. We had a great time and ended up doing lots of things. We did have to shove Abigail down a few slide though. =) It was lots of fun!
Earlier this summer I bought the girls adorable coordinating dresses off Zulily. I really wanted my mom to take pictures of them. So we headed to the college for a mini photo shoot. It was SO SO HOT!! We were dripping in sweat by the time we finished. But the girls were very cooperative and we got lots of really cute shots. I absolutely LOVE them all, but I'm only going to share a few here.
Hannah lost yet another tooth. It was super wiggly but Daddy wasn't able to get it out yet. We went to the dentist and it fell out while they were cleaning her teeth. So funny! Now she truly looks like a 1st grader with no front teeth.
And just like that it was time to start school. Can not believe my sweet girl is in 1st grade. She was so excited to start school and walked in with a big smile on her face. Hannah loves her teacher already and has had a great first week. It's going to be a fantastic year! We cheated again and took our pictures BEFORE school stated and not on the first day. This is so the way to go, no crowd, not in anyone's way. YEAH!
