Yay for the first day of school!!! Madeline is in Mrs. Sewell's fourth grade class and Jude is in Mrs. Henriksen's second grade class. 

We have such a fun group of neighbors to walk to school with too.

One last hoorah! Several of our school friends got together one evening for a back to school bash at the Hamilton Lowe aquatic center. It was so great to have the place all to ourselves!

Another summer bucket list of ours was picking huckleberries. So we searched and searched for some to pick. There weren't a lot and we ate a bit faster than we picked. :) this is all that made it to the car. :)

Biking the route of the Hiawatha was on our summer bucket list and we are so glad we got to check it off!!! 16 miles down an old railway, through 11 tunnels and over 9 trestles was a great way to end our summer vacation!!!

We aren't fully packed for anywhere until every inch of the car has been filled! Here we are heading out on a two day camping/biking adventure!

Thursday night was full of haircuts! Mikael brought over her boy for a cut and then Jacob Swenson stopped in for his back to school haircut. When it was all done Jude and jake played a little subway surfers on the ipad. :)
