August Travel

I know this is a little late, but I thought you all might want to see pictures and video of our travels to Nebraska and Iowa this summer.

Up North for Labor Day Weekend

We went to Frankfort, MI, for Labor Day (you'll have to wait for Rhoda to show me how to put a map here) with the Montgomerys. We stayed at a place where there were about 14 little cabins; ours had one bedroom, a futon and a kitchen. The weather was fantastic and there was lots to do, but we would have had a better time if Mary hadn't been sick and if Vittoria (the little one) would have slept for more than an hour and a half at a time.
There was a sand box. Katie nearly always came out of it looking like she had a black eye.

Katie's First Day of Kindergarten

Katie had her first day of school today. Mary Kay and Vittoria put her on the bus (for an hour!) and then raced to the school to get pictures of the arrival.

She was the first one off. Makes for a very nice picture.
