Nate - Cross Country

Nate is running cross country this year. Our school district lets the 6th graders run with the Middle School (7th & 8th graders). He likes it - even though its been super hot a good part of September - and we are so proud of him! Scott has been going to run with the team on the days he is off, so he's like a volunteer coach too (although Nate would not admit to that:) Ha!)

His first meet was in University City and he did a great job! The season lasts until the end of October and he has a few more meets to go.

And just for fun...this is Nate on the day he dressed up like his teacher. It was spirit week for Homecoming and he really got into this day. And only this day. 

Apple Farm with Lila's Class

I had the pleasure of joining Lila's class at the Apple Farm a couple of weeks ago. It was a new apple farm for us and we liked it! The farmers helped the 1st Grade make apple cider and Lila was a fan!

They had animals to visit as well and the kids really loved them. Me? I was standing in the back with the hand sanitizer. Ha! 

We also got to take a trip to the orchard to pick some apples!

Lila loves to pick apples and tasted a few too:)

We had a great time and I noticed that 1st Graders are different than Kindergartners on field trips. At least this one. I was very impressed with all of their behavior!
