School already?

Wow...I haven't posted since July? I guess that just shows how busy our summer was this year. It didn't seem that busy at the time, but with work and summer camps and a vacation here and there, it all adds up.

We went to northern Michigan at the end of July for a week that just went too fast. Came back to stifling heat and humidity, which was really depressing. The weather up north was perfect, and we spent plenty of time at the beach, and canoeing, and just hanging out eating our baskets of walleye. This year we broke up the drive by staying in Champaign on the way up and back, and even stopped at the Lincoln museum in Springfield, which was a pretty neat place, with very cool exhibits...make a trip if you are ever passing through Springfield, IL!

Next thing you know, school starts!! Travis had his first day yesterday and it went well, so far so good for 5th grade....we'll take it one day at a time, but I think he'll have a great year.
