First Day of School (3rd & 1st Grade)

Today was the first day of virtual school. I set both kids up with learning spaces in their rooms with all their supplies, including their Chromebooks. We woke the kids up and got them ready, and then they did the long commute of heading upstairs to attend class.

Smith Mountain Lake Vacation

We booked a cabin at Smith Mountain Lake State Park and rented a pontoon boat while we were visiting. We enjoyed using the boat–cruising, jumping off it, swimming, docking on a little beach, and tubing. We also hiked in the mornings and enjoyed biking around the cabin area. Alex celebrated his 6th birthday while we were on vacation. We all had a relaxing and enjoyable time!

Alex’s 6th Birthday Celebration at home

Since we’ll be at the cabin for Alex’s birthday, we decided to let him pick all his meals and open his presents today. He started the day off with donuts and opening his gifts. Then tried out his roller blades, scooter, basketball hoop, drum, and built several lego sets. He asked for Wendy’s for lunch and nachos for dinner with AJ’s lava cake for dessert.

Family Zoo Trip

We got free timed tickets to go to the zoo and had a fun morning there before it started raining.
