Goodbye summer, hello school

After a summer full of baseball, we finally got our relaxation time in August.  You guys got to spend your week at Camp Pop and Noni with your cousins and as always, you had a blast!

You had kayak lessons, played on the beach and in the water.  Hit the trampoline park and children's museum, enjoyed the boardwalk and rides and of course just riding around the beach with Pop.  

Right from there we headed to Nags Head.  We had extra fun this year as JoJo came for a few days and so did Mike, C and the girls.  You guys enjoyed having the extra company. 

The weather was perfect except for one day.  We had a blast on the beach, the water was warm, and perfect for boogie boarding and body surfing.  

We had some awesome meals out and Maks you were obsessed with snow crab legs, we had to cut you off!  We loved having the ice cream place right behind our house.  You guys enjoyed playing in the pool and hanging in the hot tub.  

We had an awesome last night eating oceanfront and then heading to Jockey's Ridge to take in the gorgeous sunset. You and the girls loved running and flipping and rolling down the dunes and we have some fun videos to show for it. 

This year you started school before Labor Day which was a little weird, but at least it was only 3 days.  We still were able to head to Sobo for weekend and squeeze in one last beach time!

Alek you started the school year off with a bang or collision.  Recess fun of flag football, tooth vs head.  Tooth one and you got 4 stitches and a nice egg and black eye.  

Alek its Hard to believe this is your last year at GS!  Can't believe you are a 6th grader.  This has gone way too fast!! I know this will be an awesome year ruling the school.  You are enjoying your classes and enjoying your new baseball team as well.  You are lucky to have an awesome coach this fall who is teaching you alot.  Maks, you are in 4th grade--how is that possible?!  You have grown so much this summer, both physically and in your maturity.  You are enjoying school and all your new teachers.  You are having a good time with hockey and are splitting time between goal and defense.  It is amazing to see how far you have come in goal, you are doing so well.  It is very exciting to watch!
Keep the good work in school and sports, you boys make us very proud.  Here's to a successful and fun school year!!
We love you!
