Whew we survived the first week back at school! The end of the summer was pretty low key with a few sleepovers, more work on the garage (getting there!) and one last swim in the pool. I took the pool down the week before Labor Day and had it dried out and ready to go to another family by the weekend. It was a bit sad to think that this was our last summer with the pool, but it was time to let it go. We have had a lot of good times in there, now it's time for another family to enjoy it as much as we did!
Lynsey hosted a team bonding event with her JV teammates last Thursday, they had a good time playing games and all jumping on our trampoline (I was pretty nervous about this one, but they mostly didn't jump thankfully!). They seem like a great group of girls! We didn't do anything huge on the long weekend, Brian finished up the electrical in the garage and I tried to get some last minute things ready for back to school. On Sunday, we took the boys over to Deception Pass and Whidbey Island for a little day out. Lynsey had made plans to go shopping with her friends so she didn't come, it was a bit odd not having her there but really this is probably a sign of the times - she is almost 16 and not going to join us for every family event anymore. She got some nice clothes for back to school so she was happy:-D. We had ice cream and then ate a really late lunch at the Front Street Grill (there was a wait so we decided to have dessert first lol). Another delicious meal of mussels at the Front Street Grill in the books! The weather was a bit iffy but thankfully it was not raining so we stopped at Double Bluff Beach for a while. Adam does love the beach! We took the ferry back and were home around 6, our first road trip in Brian's new car! We discovered that you have to adjust the alarm settings when you get on a ferry, as the motion of the ferry will cause the alarm to go off:-/. Oops! Live and learn!
Monday was pretty relaxed, and Tuesday the kids were off to school! The boys both start at 7:50 this year and Lynsey starts at 8:30 - pretty big adjustment from Lynsey always starting earlier than everyone else. We're getting the hang of the early morning but I think we are all feeling it (except for Lynsey who gets to sleep an hour later than she used to!). Just have to make sure we all get to bed early enough! Lynsey has already had a few volleyball games! They lost against Juanita on Tuesday but won against Mountlake Terrace yesterday, yay! They were much better yesterday, I think it's going to be a great season!
