Kindergarten!

Today was the first day of Kindergarten!  Ryan climbed aboard the bus with Ms. Vicky and headed off to McDole Elementary to Mrs. Read's class.  The only tears were from Mom...and Brandon, because he had to stay home.  The kids in our subdivision could fill a bus on their own, and there are 7-8 Kindergarteners...lots of camaraderie here!  Here's to a great school year!

Safety Town

The Safety Town Trio!...Ryan Ayden & Abby.  Train safety, water safety, a lesson when to call 911 (taught by Naperville's own 911 dispatcher, Harold)...and so many other things. 

The 3 had a great week learning how to be SAFE. 

 

Thanks Doug & Angie for sharing photos and Aunt Jenny for letting us play at your house on Monday! 

 

 

Ski & Waterpark Weekend 2012

9th Annual? 10th? 26th? Who knows....the trip goes way back, my involvement is 5 or 6 deep now. Regardless, a good time was had by all.

This marked Alex Murr & Chris Ritchie's first ski experience. Alex was a whizz on his skis. Chris tried snowboarding and Jason went with him.

Meanwhile, there was lots of splashing and laughter back at the hotel.....

Ryan, Abby, Brandon & Brynn having fun at the pool!


Brandon & Brynn chillin on the steps.


The goggle-swim-tastic-duo!


Abby chillin' in her tube.


Ryan is such a fish! And my new underwater camera got a great shot of him underwater...fun!

At the ski hill, Ryan stole Grandma's poles!

All set to get on the lift for the first time....John, Jason, Alex, Jeff, Cathy w/ Brandon, Chris & Ryan
