We went to Elora’s Back to School Night a few weeks ago. Which brought up a lot of strange feelings – such as, Wow! We are now the parents at back to school night. And, Oh my goodness! We have just entered a life of school, schedules, buses, projects, homework, etc. that will last for at least the next 15 years! The best part of the night was the end when we all got to enjoy root beer floats on the grass outside the school. Marion liked the root beer floats too.
Oliver was a big fan of the root beer floats, since he loves ice cream and soda. Elora who does not like anything carbonated had Chris drink her root beer so she could eat the ice cream. While sitting on the grass we realized what a beautiful view there is from the school. Here is Oliver being a goober, and the awesome scenery in the background. Sometimes when we stop for a minute and look around we think, “wow! I can’t believe we live here! It is soooo beautiful!” It is sad that we usually forget to appreciate how awesome the mountains around us are.
Marion is into chewing on stuff. Pretty much on anything she can get her hands on. Here she is enjoying her ride on Daddy’s shoulders and also enjoying chewing on a little notebook. Need to get her some chew toys I guess! We enjoyed Back to School Night and seeing Elora’s classroom, and came home with more paperwork than one could ever want… Now we are officially scheduled parents. I already can’t wait until summer.
