September

We got some great Texas swimming holes in the beginning of September, including McKinney Falls on Caleb's lunch break. 

Krausie Springs on Labor day, such a pretty place and our first time to go.

The first day of school finally came! Austin Discovery School was renovating old buildings all last year to be our new school buildings on the property behind the current school as KIPP was taking over that. It was scheduled to be finished in July, then plumbing problem, added to a super wet August and it wasn't schedule to be finished by the Aug 22 first day of school, we pushed it back to kick it old school starting the Tuesday after Labor day, but oops the buildings still weren't ready, but the kids and teachers were so they scheduled two weeks of field trips. Above is their first day of one of those. Then one more week off and then two weeks at another charter school's campus and we were finally in our new buildings!

Caleb and I continued our 3rd annual Take the first day of school off and go on a date day.

I went on a field trip with both girls, this day they both were at Inner Space Caverns, a place I had also been on a field trip too as a child. 

Caleb had a bike race in Corpus so we went as a family to enjoy the beach and cheer him on at the finish line.

In case, I am looking back at this online scrapbook, it would be horrible to forget what we were talking about constantly-Election 2016. It kept getting crazier, but here I am standing in Warren's place to represent smart strong women.

Nana and Grandpa came to celebrate Gloria's birthday.

A group of friends went to Hamilton pool on our last week off of school.

Friends at Gloria's bday slumber party!

The drive to NYOS school campus was long but there was a nice pond behind their school.

ADS ice cream fundraiser and our international UT friend Laura from France came with us.
