Weekend in Rochester

 Seth had his first modified game last Thursday. It somehow felt different and more important even though I know that it really wasn't. The boys played really well together and Seth scored two goals. 

 Hard to see, but Seth was one of the captains.

 We rushed from the game to Leah's Open House. Her classroom is really sweet and she is enjoying 4th grade very much thus far.

 This past weekend we headed to Rochester to visit the aunties. We had a full day planned and had the very best time. We started the day at The Warrior Factory. It was set up just like the TV show American Ninja Warrior and the kids had such a fabulous time trying all of the obstacles. It was the perfect way to start the day. I have tons of videos but unfortunately this site wont let me upload them. Meh.

 After the Warrior Factory we headed to the Rochester Public Market. They had every fruit and vegetable you could imagine plus tons of ethnic foods. It was my personal heaven.

 Right down the street there happened to be a brewery so we HAD to check it out.

 Later that day we checked out one more brewery and they had soda flights. Seth thought that was beyond amazing.

 We love our weekends in Rochester with the aunties.

 Best picture ever

 On Sunday we took a glorious walk by the lake as a family.

Monday was 7th grade picture day. It was shocking that Seth not only wore khaki shorts, but his Sperry's also. SHOCKING.

Have a fantastic week everyone.

September is Flying By

 We have successfully completed two super busy weeks of school. I now have an extra hour in my day here in town and boy have I been utilizing it. I often take Seth to school at 7:15am and head right to work to get everything in order. I love the fact that Leah comes to my building after school and if I look down the hill I know that Seth is in that building close by if he ever needed me.

 We celebrated Lorie's 40th birthday Friday night and it felt so great to be out socializing with friends after a crazy busy week. I did peeter out by 11:30pm though, but that's much better then 9pm like it's been every other night this week.

 Yesterday we had one last epic lake day. We grabbed some kiddie friends and headed to Black Pond Inlet where we met up with two other families and endless kids. The weather was spectacular and we all came home a little too sun kissed. We were all asleep before 10pm and had dreams of the boat for next summer. We plan to have them pull it this week since the water levels at the marina are super low. It has been the best boating season we have ever had and that boat added many miles/hours this summer. 

Until next year "Island Girl"

This week is jammed packed full of Victory try-outs, practices, after school dates with TI buddies, open houses and Seth's first modified soccer game. One day at a time, cereal for dinner and we plan to enjoy every second of the madness because before we know it it'll be over. #enjoythejourney #embracethechaos

I'm BACK

Please bear with me, I have switched jobs and we just bought a new laptop so that I can get back to blogging. As soon as I transfer my pictures from my phone I will update this blog to the fullest and let you all know what we have been up all summer and now into the fall. Check back in a couple of days!
