Goodbye Summer, Aloha School!

Our friends invited us over the Thursday before school started for a back-to-school Luau.  On top of the cake, she had the words “Goodbye Summer.  Aloha school!”  Even though one or the other of us was sick through all the month of August (and still lingering into September), we managed to do a few fun things before the carefree summer days were gone.

OMSI:

While we were at the coast this year, one of the groupon type websites up here had a deal for an OMSI membership.  Unfortunately, they were sold out by the time we got internet access again, but our generous friends invited us to join them as their guests on their membership.  The boys loved seeing the rockets launch, playing Connect 4 by controlling the huge robot arms, shaking in the earthquake simulation house, and most of all, playing in the ball room.

  

Synder Park:

One of our other friends introduced us to this park in Sherwood.  It has a great playground with lots of unique and fun play equipment.  It also has a fun sand area with a little river area.  The kids had fun playing on the play equipment and playing with their friends.

         

James:

One morning, while getting ready for church, James walked in with this hat on his head.  He wore it around for about half an hour, adjusting it every once in awhile. 

 

That’s all for now.  More later on Labor Day weekend and back to school!
