Summer Girls

Our summer was a total whirlwind.  I feel like I worked most of it, and found myself especially exhausted this past week as we finally were able to move back into our building.  The unpacking and continued construction work has been stressful, but I work with the most amazing staff that has totally rolled with the punches.  It's not completely finished, and won't be for a while, but our building is ready to welcome kids tomorrow.  Anyway, as I've been wrapped up in learning more than I cared to know about architecture and construction, the girls have had a great summer!

A couple of weekends ago we had a fun family day at Hurricane Harbor ... this was the only picture I got.  We spent all day on water slides and had a blast! The girls were daredevils and rode everything they were tall enough to ride!
Over the past week, the girls had a second summer trip to MN for Camp G&G Round II.  Emma was so thrilled to be included, and it came at the right time for me as I could put in some long hours without feeling guilty!  Steve and I also managed to try a couple new restaurants and enjoy patio Coronaritas!
The girls loved Corn Days and dancing to Grandpa's band.
 Auntie and Adam hosted an early birthday party for Emma.  She was so excited, and it made me so happy to see lots of family members show up to celebrate our almost-five-year-old!
The girls got to ride Big Mabel on Prior Lake!  She didn't make an appearance when we were in MN in July since Grandpa was dealing with his shoulder issues/hospital stay, so they were really excited to ride this time.  Everyone loves a lake girl!
 And if you look closely here, you can see the crazy boat hair happening!
What a great way for the girls to end the summer.  And now, just like that, it's time for school.  Tomorrow morning, bright and early, Sara's off to 3rd grade and Emma to pre-k ... we're looking forward to a great year!
