Goodbye Summer

After a crazy week of sports camp, classes finally start tomorrow! When September arrives, we always wonder how summer flew by so fast. What in the world did we do for all of June, July and August? Teaching is an incredible profession - we love working with kids, we love impacting their lives, and we LOVE summer vacation! We are so blessed to be able to spend such a significant chunk of time together as a family. And although it feels like we didn't do much, looking back, it's obvious that we had our share of adventures.
Here are some highlights from our vacation...
