Back to School

Ready or not...here it comes!
I never feel ready for the school year to start.  With our Black Rock vacation at the end of the summer, I always wish we had another few weeks of summer before getting back into a schedule.  But every year we head into the school year feeling unprepared and maybe a little unwilling, but once the kids get home from a night of orientation, they are totally ready to get back to seeing their friends and usually become excited about getting back into the swing of school.



Jack (8th), Emily (6th), Samuel (4th), and Max (1st), and Abby and Drew get to do pre-school with Mommy at home 


And every year Emily's big dilemma is how to do her hair for the first day of school!  So this was it for this year!

Black Rock 2015

This year I actually put all of our Black Rock pictures and videos into one video that you can see here, but here are a few of the highlights.

The thing that I have been so impressed with is that each year there are new things to do.  The staff works hard to keep us on our toes!

Here are several of the things they added this year:

9 Square in the Air
It's like 4 square only with 9 squares and it's up in the air!  Very fun!






The Carnival











 We especially like Joe's photobomb in this one!







Family Feud



The Giant Swing and The Leap of Faith














And then there are the oldies, but goodies:

The Pool


The Playground


The Hayride



Dodgeball




The Rock Wall and Zipline


 This was Emily's first year to be able to go down the zipline.





And of course
The Gaga Tournament!







But, best of all, it's 
time with our friends
that we love the most!


Here's to another year!
