last day of "summer"

School starts tomorrow so even though it's only the beginning of August it is our last day of summer. The summer that comes with no homework, late nights, free time and lazy days.  It's good to go back to school.  Particually this year:)  We had some big plans for the day.  First we went to "Paint Your Dreams" and painted pottery.  It was a lot of fun.  Ethan thought it took too long, although he didn't complain, he was the first one done by about 2 hours.  He had the foresight to bring his iPod so that worked out well.

The girls and I enjoyed it a lot and hope we can go back.  We'll see how the finished products turn out before we decide.

After paitning and lunch we went to the pet store again. Grace wanted to visit the chinchillas.  It's only a block from our hotel which is good and bad.

In the afternoon we went to see "Inside Out".  It was cute, kind of long.  Ethan stayed home to watch a soccer game.

Next we went to the school to find out who Grace's teacher is.  Not that we know her but at least we know what classroom to go to.

Tonight is YW. Today was a fun day.
