Sideways

The final week of summer is in the books.  Lily and Jack finished a busy week of playing and pool time.

After the beach, the rest of the week went by quickly.  On Friday, Lily went to visit her new school and met her new teacher.  She is very excited about this school year and her new school.  On Friday night we went down for dinner and a visit to the Lincoln Memorial and the World War II Memorial.

On Saturday, we did some stuff around the house and had some of our new neighbors over for a bar-b-que.  Sophia and Luke who live two doors down match Lily and Jack in age.  Lily and Sophia are in the same class and so far they are getting along as fast friends.

On Sunday, we headed up to Baltimore to go to the Orioles game.  Unfortunately, just as it was about to start the skies opened up and the rain came down.  Madeline and her dad who had come along endured an hour and half delay with us and then we all headed home.  On the bright side, the game was cancelled so we can turn our tickets in for another day.

Today was the first day of second grade and so far so good.  Lily had a great day (even though she missed the bus home) and we are off to great start this year.  Jack starts his new school (where his camp was) next Tuesday.

Here are the pictures from the week.
