First Day of Kindergarten - Friday, August 25, 2017

With backpack and lunch bag in hand Riley was ready to go to her first day of school. We have been walking down to the school to avoid the traffic jam of parents, which has been going well. Riley already knew some of the kids in her class because they were at Northwood Preschool with her but she is already coming home with new names of people she has met. She is learning to eat faster but still has a lot in her lunchbox when she comes home. The first few days the teachers came out to meet the students and lead them to their rooms then after that they would be expected to find their rooms on their own. She was nervous to do that for the first time but did well and is now gaining more confidence in herself which is great! Our baby is growing up.

Fly Iowa Air Show- Ottumwa, Iowa - Saturday, August 26, 2017

 Our kids love airplanes so when Stacy told me there was going to be an airshow in Ottumwa we were in the car and on our way!  It started out cloudy but was a nice day. Mom made tons of great food for before and after!  The show was from 1-3 with other entertainment before and after but we just went for the air show. I saw planes do things that I didn't know were possible, like fly sideways or straight up and do lots of turns. The kids had a great time and a few were a little sunburned but happy.  Keenan has always loved planes so it was exciting for me to watch him sharing that with our kids!
