well, you won't believe me when i tell you this, but we start school in 3 days. yep, you read that right. sickening i tell you. i told john the other day that our school is an evil institution because it steals away my 3 most favorite people all at the same time. ;)
so since we head back to school on wednesday, i thought i better jump on the blog here and document a little bit of our summer, before i start posting "1st day of school" pics!
we started our summer with an immediate trip to st. louis back at the end of may. and when i say immediate, i mean immediate. we attended graduation on friday night and left 5 hours later in the wee hours of the morning to make the 11 hour trip.
here are a few of my favorite pictures from our trip to visit john's family.

 |
| don't be fooled! this was at the st. louis zoo but they so badly wanted to visit a cave. this was as close as they got! :) |

our other big trip of the summer was to our favorite texas beach location, rockport! this was our third summer to visit and as always, it was totally relaxing and fun. this year we rented a house for a week just minutes from the beach with my family and had a great time, minus the jellyfish. these are a few of my favorite pics from that trip.

| of course we planned our trip around being in austin at breakfast time so we could eat here |

other summer memories include lots of bike rides to the park with john, swimming with our cousin, ice cream cones from braum's, john's intro to baseball class for the boys (they're playing baseball this fall), going to the movies and eating popcorn, swimming in our blow up pool, and reading the harry potter books. it's been a good summer and i'm thankful for my family.
