The Kassel Family Project Life 365

It was a busy, but great Saturday.  The agenda included:

• The Saturday CycleX Big Tree Cycling ride for Andy
• The Big Tree Cycling Annual Picnic – good food, good beer, and fun with friends
• A birthday party at Wilson’s Beach Club for John
• Play time for Laura with our neighbor, Hailey
• Pool time with the new pool toys for the kids and pool time complete with tasty beer for Andy and I and a friend from Big Tree Cycling, Renee
• Tasty dinner on the grill

It was pretty much the perfect Saturday!

John had a friend, Jacob, over for what was supposed to be a sleepover tonight.  The boys had a ton of fun – pool time, pizza, and video games.  Unfortunately, the evening ended “early” because Jacob started to not feel well.  His dad picked him up right about 11 pm.  Even though Jacob didn’t get to spend the night, the boys still had lots of fun packed into about five hours.

I dropped my boys off for Cub Scout Day Camp at Stephens Lake Park this morning.  This year’s theme is “Bug Huntin’ Day Camp.”  Andy is attending as a walking leader for John’s Pack and John was ready to go because he loves this camp.

I picked them up at the end of the day and John’s favorite activity of the day was making Marshmallow Blasters.  I guess I need to get some mini marshmallows now…

Oh, how I love you Hy-Vee Fuel Saver – $1.65 off a gallon on gas!

Love this!

So, I know that it is not August, but it is Laura’s first day of Middle School and John’s first day of Fourth Grade.

Laura was a little nervous and excited as she left the house for the bus stop, but she said she had a great first day and even made a few new friends.

John was cool as a cucumber because he is “just moving up” to Unit C.  He also had a great first day and told me all about the geometry he learned.

I still cannot believe that Laura is really in middle school and that John is at Ridgeway by himself now.  Time just moves way too fast…
