The End of Summer

Well, school starts on Tuesday, so we decided to get a few last things in this weekend with the kids (i.e., cram some things into the last few free days that we have). On Wednesday, the kids and I (Julie) went to the Science Center. I forgot to take the camera, so I don't have pictures, but they all enjoyed the Discovery Room and then I realized that Katherine is really growing up. In the past, the Discovery Room has been enough to see there, but his time she wanted to see the exhibits. The was really fascinated, and Elizabeth was a bit, too. So we looked through a couple of the exhibits and decided that next time we need to go earlier so that we have time for some of that before lunch and nap time hit.
On Friday night, we all went to the Magic House and had ice cream at Cold Stone Creamery. YUM!
Elizabeth enjoyed dressing up and having a tea party. And, below, fishing.

Isn't Chrisotpher cute in that little hat and driving the big construction truck??

And Katherine's continued fascination with water....

Saturday morning we went to Grants Farm (and ran into our friends, the VanEssendelfts in the parking lot!) for a short time before we got our haircuts.

After we got our haircuts, we went swimming. These pictures aren't from yesterday, but are from throughout the summer. I just thought this a good post to put them up, since I hadn't yet.

I know this is crazy, but tomorrow we will go to the zoo for a couple of hours and go to meet Elizabeth's teacher. Then, school starts on Tuesday for both Elizabeth and Katherine. More pictures of that to follow later this week.
