A little decompression from school overload!

This has been a tough couple of weeks on the kids. Of course, I am enjoying having some of my "own" time back-but for them, it's been an overload of new things; people, places, schedules, things to remember, homework to do, etc. Back to school all day everyday meant a roller coaster of emotions from excitement and enthusiasm to hesitation and mini melt-downs. Total brain over-load.

This weekend we just needed a little levity and what better place than outside to do just that? Here are a few snapshots of how my kids blew off a little steam from the pressure-cooker that is the first month of school.

FUMBLE!

On Wednesday, Mike and I are off to Boulder, CO for long weekend with some college friends. We're going to see WVU kick some butt, hopefully, and do some hiking/rafting/horseback riding, who knows at this point, in Breckenridge.

The boys will stay with Grammie for 2 nights and then they are headed to Lancaster, PA with my mom and Dennis to see the Renaissance festival! It should be a great time for all of us, I'll post some shots when I get back.
