Summer Break: The Last Week

Summer is winding down and school starts up again tomorrow. We had a tremendous amount of fun this summer, but I think we're all ready for the routines of the school year. Will put it perfectly last night when he said he was feeling nervous, excited, happy and sad. That's back-to-school in a nutshell.

Our last week of summer break was the perfect mix of busy and relaxing with a good sprinkle of celebrating too (Will turned nine this week, after all!).

Here's a peak at some of what we did:

Cub Scout Doughnut Ministry at church

Cub Scouts is one of our favorite things about the school year!

Building, building, building! Gene and Will made a robot spider and a model airplane this week.

We visited the science museum in Sugar Land.

And we volunteered at the food bank again. We were repackaging goods from massive boxes into banana boxes and then sorting goods by category.

Will spent Friday afternoon at a friend's house, so Henry and I headed out for some fun of our own. We ate frozen yogurt and played games at Chuck E. Cheese. Henry won 100 bonus tickets while playing Doodle Jump!

We headed to the zoo on Friday night for their Cool Nights. Unfortunately, it poured right after we arrived, so we really only ate dinner and saw a couple of animals.

Good-bye, summer 2015!
