Our first day of school

I wanted to start of the school year with some fun family traditions.  Here is what we came up with.

1. Brent will always take the first day of school off!
2. We will start the day off with donuts!


3. The kids will "walk" to school.  For us, that means walking around the block and back to school.  I was a little sad it was raining this year, but the kids actually loved it.  They put on their raincoats and grabbed their umbrellas and they were happy as could be.
 
 
 
 
 
4. Next is school picture time!
 

 



 
 
 
5.  We will then go on a field trip!  This year we went to Union Station.  We visited the planetarium, then spent a couple of hours at Science City.

6.  Oh, yes, and we will find some time to fit some "school" in there.
 
All in all, we had a great day as a family and we have a lot of enthusiasm to start off the year!
