The rest of August

Uncle Mark and Aunt Patty came to visit us before school started. It was so great to see them! As always, they spoiled the kids. This time they brought a motorized car, a motorized motorcycle and 2 wiggle cars. It was insane! We sure did have fun though. We took all the stuff to the park and let them go wild. I wish I had taken a picture of the kids on the motorcycle because it was a riot. We thought it might go too fast and be scary, but it just kind of putted along at a nice speed. Mark and Patty, we always miss you as soon as you leave!



Now, for the RENAISSANCE FESTIVAL! We do love the Renaissance Festival, and Rachael handled her first time like a pro. Andy and I started this tradition when we were dating, and we try to go every year. Taking the kids has breathed new life into our trips. They make it feel new [and for those of you who are familiar with Bob the Juggler (whose show never changes), this is a welcome relief.]

Arghhhh!

As we were leaving we realized we had taken no pictures of Rachael, so these people were nice enough to let us take a picture with them on the walk to the parking lot. :)

Last, but not least, August brought the start of school and Nathan's first day of Kindergarten. It has been crazy getting used to him not being home...but I do have Rachael to keep me busy! :)



This was pure joy for Nate...his very first school bus ride!
