Camden's first day of kindergarten

We have debated and debated whether or not to send Camden to kindergarten this year. He has a late birthday and we've just wanted to give every advantage we can to him, so we leaned toward holding him back. However- we are still a bit undecided with it. We decided to put him in a private kindergarten this year, so if we decide to send him to kindergarten again next year, he won't have the same curriculum.  However, if we decide to send him to 1st grade next year, this program is accredited, and he can just start at the elementary school in first grade. He is in a class this year with only 10 kids. He goes M-Th, and it's only for 2 hours and 15 minutes a day. I love how small the classes are- and his teacher is darling with the kids. I think he's going to love it!

Bear Lake

We have had a tradition the last few years of going up to Bear Lake- just for the day. It's always highly anticipated, and a favorite day of the summer. We went up with the Hendricks again this year- and of course all had a fun time. We were one of the last people to leave the beach. They had fun with the canoe, and paddle boat, playing in the sand, building sand castles, etc. I dragged Camden out of the water screaming and crying. We they went to the usual Le Beau's for dinner and shakes, and didn't get home until almost midnight. They all had a wonderful time- so a successful trip, other than the fact that right as we were getting ready to leave, a HUGE gust of wind ripped the umbrella out of the sand, and it hit me on the nose and eyes. And now I have two black eyes. I wonder how many people are gonna think I'm an abused woman. :)
