September is over and we are gearing up for a very busy holiday season. Here are a few of this month's little things:
Hawaiian Falls opened their water park to the City of Mansfield employees and their families one Friday night. For the second year in a row, Emily asked us to join them. Heavy storms were moving into the area that night, so we weren't sure we were going to get to ride any of the rides. After a short lightning delay, they reopened the slides and the kids had a blast. The storms kept most people away, so the kids rode all the rides without having to wait in any lines. We let them ride until it was too dark to see. It was a fun evening with the cousins and I hope we will be able to do it again next year!
Parker enjoyed celebrating his friend, Zachary's, 12th birthday with him at Ellen's Amusement Park in Cedar Hill. The rain almost cancelled the fun but they were able to get most of the activities in before the rain hit.
We had dinner at Emily and Jon's house one night and enjoyed getting to play with the cousins. The girl genes are strong in our family but we sure are glad that God blessed us with these three boys!
Our school celebrated Homecoming Week by wearing black and gold to support the Yellow Jackets. Mrs. Humphreys sent me this picture of Lily and several of her friends showing their school spirit.
Cory and I decided to surprise the kids with a spontaneous trip to the Rangers game one Sunday afternoon. Since it was the end of the season, we got really good seats for a very cheap price. The weather was cool and we had a great time spending the day together.
Eden's class wrote a poem about themselves. I thought Eden did a very good job on both her poem and her self portrait.
Lily is always creating things in class. Mrs. Humphreys sent me these pictures of some of her creations.
It was a fun month and we are looking forward to celebrating Lily's birthday and Halloween in a few weeks. I have a feeling it's going to be very busy between now and Christmas break!
