It's been too long...we've done too much...and I have WAY too many photos! Starting with school, Michael is liking eStem and has all A's for the first 9 weeks. Very proud of that accomplishment. It's a much harder curriculum on top of a new school, so I'm proud.

Of course, shortly after school starts, summer ends. We spent Labor Day weekend at Jack's on the White River. My SIL's family and friends have had this tradition for many many years. We were grateful for the invite and finally being able to join in on the fun. We had a splendid time! Michael and I lit out on Friday morning to get there, get the camper set up and get settled in before Dan arrived on Saturday morning. Everything went without a hitch...except for the 100 mile drive turning into a 250 mile drive. Mapquest =1 - Me = 0. We made the best of it and enjoyed the scenery. Whattayagonnado?!?!

Once Dan arrived on Saturday, we rented a boat and headed out on the river. Didn't catch anything, but had fun trying. After a bit of fishing, we headed to a gravel bar in Sylamore Creek and let the kiddos play. Fun was had by all.

While hanging out at the resort, the kids LIVE on the playground. There is an old school, heavy metal marry-go-round where they congregate. In the evenings, the grills are going, and a few beverages are consumed.

We will definitely do the Memorial Day / Labor Day thing at Jack's again. All of us had a blast.
