Annual Shark Tooth Hunting

We made our annual pilgrimage to go shark tooth hunting again this year!. Last year's trip to Flag Ponds Nature Park was so much fun that we decided to go again. There aren't as many fossils on the beach but the beach is WAY better. The girls and Declan spent most of the day swimming and everyone else had plenty of sand to run and play and plenty of shoreline to find fossils. We found a few good sized ones which is always fun!

There is one more day of summer vacation tomorrow. Big changes this year with Aidan in High School, Emmy in 7th grade and Aoife and Declan at Jamestown.  We are all looking forward to a great year!

Last Day of Summer

 What else can you do on the last day of summer vacation besides the pool and ice cream??  We spent the entire afternoon at the pool and then headed out for surprise ice cream after dinner.  It's a big day tomorrow - 5th grade, 3rd grade and 1st grade!!!  Everyone is so excited!!!

Saturday Morning at the Library

 Happy Labor Day Weekend!!  What to do without school for 4 days??  Yesterday we hung around the house and took it easy.  We all got rested up from four full weeks of school.  Today we went over to the Clarksville Library in the morning.  There is a fun area for little ones to play - lots of toys and board books!  Aidan, Emmy and Aoife had fun playing with Declan but also thought it was cool that they had freedom to wander through the stacks and find books.  We only stayed for an hour or so.  It started to get crowded and the kids were getting hungry for lunch. I'm running out of things to do that are inside and local and good for ages 1-8.  I wish it would cool down already!  I'm really tired of 100 degrees!!
