"Insta"-replay, August, where the summer ends

I have so much to share about August, I'll jump right in!

Toby spent a week with us so he could go to dance camp.  He also went to VBS with Merry.  It was a safari theme and I think they enjoyed it.  I enjoyed having him here!

Jon and I channeled our inner cuteness with matching shirts.

I learned that Pokemon Go can be used for educational as well as recreational fun.

We had an art lesson with Grandma Kelly.  All of our flowers turned out beautiful, she is a great teacher!

Merry has an entire book of superheroes she has designed.  This one is inspired by Perry the Platypus, it's one of my favorites.

The weather was warmer than usual so we took refuge in my inlaws pool.

Jon and I celebrated 14 years! We lucked out by having a special Rifftrax event, showing Mothra, happen to be the same day!

We had a few clogging demonstrations.  Girls won't have the kids class next year but they plan to keep dancing with the grownups.

I started my fall classes, just half time again this year.

Charry started "eighth grade." She's not sure she is ready for it but that's another story.

Merry is becoming more of an artsy child every year. She has her own sense of style.

Jon got to help the girls with their science experiments during the first week of school.  Once after school activities start up we will see less of him.

That was August.  The last bits of summer and the first bits of school.
