Sam's First Day of Kindergarten

We got to school early, took pictures and looked around.

Do you remember your first day of Kindergarten, taking pictures with your school sign?

Best friend Charlie and neighbors James, Sebastian and Daphne are all in Sam's class!

He worked hard and had a great first day.  

"Now THIS is a school I like!  I want to come here for TEN more days!  And even more!" -Sam

Let's do it!

Wes let Sam go first.  But all three were bravely swimming soon!

Panning for gold.  Hard work and not worth the gamble people took!

Cousin Devin and Auntie Karen arrived and gave our trip the finishing touch!  We loved having them with us.  We did lots of swimming at the resort, eating together, and they stayed overnight.  So fun!
