We bought a ski boat late spring and have spent many a weekend afternoon on the river with our friends. Conner's tried skiing a couple of times (got up once!), the kids have done a lot of tubing, and we had fun with a friend's kneeboard last weekend, too.
Audrey's really excited about being a kindergartner this fall. We went out this week and got all of her school supplies; she's been carrying around her new bag (didn't want a backpack and got a messenger bag instead) ever since. I'm afraid we'll have to get new supplies again before school starts next month because she's worn these out! Conner's not as excited but does enjoy school once he's there. He had a good 2nd grade year, especially after we consulted with a doctor and made some adjustments for him in the spring. He's been a much nicer, more mature kid since then!
We've had a great summer so far; aside from the boat we've spent a lot of time at Coney Island with friends and this week hung out at Kings Island a couple of days. Audrey is about an inch and a half away from being able to ride the big stuff (Vortex, Racers, Beast!). They're growing up so quickly!
