Oregon Coast part 2 return to Cape Lookout :)

We all love camping soooo much that a few weeks ago we went again before school was to start....We got bit by mosquitos, rained on.....and had a super time.....

We love getting away, looking at the stars, playing games, talking, riding bikes, all sleeping in the tent together and talking and laughing.....the kids did some skits which were great....Michael made a digital scavanger hunt for the kids....they would find the item and take a picture of it...very fun...we had fun watching a Golden Eagle....Madison loved to feed the Sea birds....Michael made some Lawn darts out of sticks for Landon he had a great time with them....and of course the kids love to be on the beach.....playing in the sand, water and finding sea shells....

I added a picture of a squirrel that came in the fire pit.....I was riding bikes with Landon and Madi and when we came back Michael said that he had a picture of our dinner....silly squirrel...glad there was no fire....

And They're off.....

Time for a new School year.....School started Tuesday September 2nd.....and officially for Makenna on Thursday September 4th.....

Braxton's nervous and excited about being a Freshman this year, he has some pretty hard classes, we got his books early, about 2 weeks before school, and he read them all through before school had even started.....crazy wouldn't have caught me doing that... :) but I guess his favorite books to read when he was really little was the dictionary and encyclopedias....

Landon is in 6th grade, his last year at the Elementary.....he is liking his teacher which is great.....and he is a super big help to make sure that Makenna gets to her class okay....he is a great big brother...Makenna loves to ride the bus with him she thinks that is pretty great.....

Madison is in 3rd grade and is very excited about being back at school, mostly to play with her friends, she is our social butterfly....She has a fun teacher...Mr. Mooyman, she thinks his name is pretty great....He is originally from Europe and speaks Dutch, he taught them already to count to 3 in Dutch....She also thinks it is great that he was a Soccer player, Madison loves Soccer....

Makenna is in Kindergarten and has the same teacher that Landon and Madison had....She is having a great time....it is extremely quiet around here for 3 hours.....

all in all I think we are going to have a great year...fingers crossed....
