The END of Summer

This is my sweet Sam leading Sydney onto the bus for the first time. She was SUPER excited. Watching them hold hands onto the bus, sent me into a fit of tears that I think I told my mom I would NEVER do! Jane wanted to go too, she was pretty upset, but we went to Grandma Gay's and dipped raspberries in chocolate so she got over it.
This is my sweet 5 year old girl on her first day of Kindergarten. I just love this little girl. She is so funny and is so glad she is finally going to school. She says her teacher is hilarious.

Jumping into the pool at Aunt Dorothy's in St. George. After we left, Sam said, "mom, we should visit Aunt Dorothy more often."

On the deck of the Grimshaw Cabin in Cedar City. Isn't it beautiful? Josh's grandma calls it her million dollar view.

The boys shooting guns with grandpa Jim. Syd and I took a turn too. On the way home, Sam said we can't do that in Island Park!

Sam and Josh skiing together. Sam was so brave. His first time up, he crossed the wake and ate it, when he head came out of the water, he was STILL smiling!

Sydney's 2nd attempt at skiing. She did great! Notice the hand signal, slower grandpa!

This is how we practiced for the real thing...I'm all set!

Sam and Syd at swimming lessons....Goodbye Summer, we will miss you, until next year!!!

I love this post..
Amy, there is absolutely nothing wrong with crying when your little girl goes to school..It seems when they go to school, life is never the same.. and it is sad..
