So to end the summer my dad took my brother and I and our family's up to Bear Lake. It was loads of fun. We hung out at the Lake, walked around downtown, went on the boardwalk, had the world famous raspberry shakes of course. Also, Garth, Ali, my dad and my brother got to go on a tour through the cave. I was sad I missed that one. The pictures they took were awesome. It was a nice relaxing weekend. It was the best way to end the summer before school started. Speaking of school I'm very sad that school started. Normally I kinda look forward to it. It's just that Ali is getting older. I mean 3rd grade. I embarrass her now. I still thought I was pretty hip but she lovingly reminds I am not. She was so nervous. When we went to back to school night she was in a full on sweat. I love my little girl so much. I get joy from her growing and learning and experiencing new things, but I also wish she was still a baby. So, she is off to school today enjoying the 3rd grade. Enjoying that she doesn't have her name on her locker anymore, enjoying the friends she
has missed, enjoying her brand new teacher. And I'll be here when she gets home ready to hear of all the new things she experienced.
