First Dance Class
On September 10th, the girls started their first dance class. Johanna is taking a tap, jazz and ballet class, while Julia is taking a tap, ballet and tumbling class. I think we should begin saving for the costumes for the Spring recital. Those babies aren't cheap!
A Birthday Celebration
In the beginning of September, the family got together to celebrate Mom's birthday. It was a nice day with all of the kids and grandkids together.
A Day in Columbia
On August 18, we headed to Columbia to celebrate Uncle Jeff's birthday. We met him for lunch at the restaurant of his choice (where the kids, and Grandpa, were more than happy to help him finish off his Birthday dessert), and then we walked around the Mizzou campus.
We had a great day! Happy Birthday, Jeff!
The First Day of School
On August 15, all the kids had their first day of school at Liberty Christian Academy. Grant - 5th grade, Johanna - 2nd grade, Julia - Kindergarten. I think Grant looks especially excited!
A Weekend of Fun
Over the weekend of August 8th, the kid's had a special visit from their cousin. Not only did they manage to entertain themselves for hours in the wood shop/club house, we also had a day trip and got through: #35. Go to the City Museum and #18. Go to Ted Drewe's off our Summer Fun List.
Grant and his cousin busted out Grant's tools and began making various items out of wood, including a bike ramp. They also decided the detached garage where they found the wood would make an awesome place for a club house. So, they put down some carpet, cleaned up, hung some decorations, brought down a radio, and made themselves a table and benches. They also made a sign and wanted to sell some of their items, but changed their minds.
Signs they hung up to liven up the place, and below that another table they made to hold wood.
The girls got in on the fun too, and Julia was in charge of holding the welcome sign.
Julia and I waited at the bottom while the others made the trek up the stairs to the top of the 10 story slide.
Once we had finished exploring the City Museum, we headed to the famous Ted Drewe's frozen custard stand.
After we finished our yummy frozen custard, we took the kids to Turtle Park to play for awhile.
After Turtle Park, we grabbed a quick dinner and then headed home. Needless to say, everyone slept well that night!

As always, The City Museum was an adventure.
