Today we put both kids into summer school.  They will both attend in the fall, Brooke returning and Alex for his first time at school.  The school had 5 weeks in June that they offered for summer school and we decided to send them one day a week when AJ was off so we could have a date.  It was Alex’s first time and he walked right in and according to his teacher ‘had the best first day one could ask for’.  He was most excited to wear his Koala backpack which he got from his Great Uncle Eddy sent from Australia when he was 9 months old.  We had saved in his closet until he was ready for school. On our morning date we got to go kayaking on our local waterways and have a delicious lunch out before picking both happy kids up at the end of their day at summer school.
