End of summer

Wow! Where did summer go? I can't believe that we are already in week three of the school year! It has been a hectic start with the switch into the new high school. And what a change! Although not without flaws, the new building is amazing.

The weekend before school started, we took a trip to Kansas City. We went to Ocean's of Fun for the day. We had perfect weather. It was hot enough to enjoy it without being uncomfortable. There was plenty to do for all of the family, so we all had fun. We ate at a BBQ place. Now the name escapes me, but it was excellent food! After a long night in the hotel (Bode didn't like it too much), we visited Union Station's train museum and Chronicles of Narnia exhibit. It was such a great time!

Kurt raced in the 24 hour mountain bike race over the Labor Day weekend. He had fun and did not kill too many trees! Fun is maybe a bit of a stretch if you call riding in the mud, dark, and fog at 4 in the morning fun! He and Brianna camped at Seven Oaks in Boone for the race. Bode and I visited for the afternoon. Bode had fun showing off his biking skills, too. He wanted to ride on the trail after watching the racers go.

We visited Grandma and Grandpa's on Labor Day and went for a plane ride. It was Bode's first noncommercial plane ride and he loved it! Kurt said he is going to have to figure out how he can manage another hobby! It is certainly neat to be in the air like that.
