First Day of Kindergarten & Gwen's Birthday






Last big Lagoon day of the summer. Grandma and most of the grandkids enjoying one last big splash in the summer on our traditional Wednesday afternoon. This summer we tried to get together at our favorite summer spot each week usually on Wednesdays.


Gwen practicing "diving" with a new friend at the pool. I love that she was even more daring this summer, rarely wearing her water wings, but mostly staying where she could touch the bottom. She did practice diving under the water for objects and doing somersaults.



Gwen's first day of kindergarten! Boy was she ready. Her school is only a couple streets away so we usually try walking there. The walk there with her takes about 25 minutes. Without her on the way back, it takes about 15 minutes. She is my little dawdler.





In line (sort-of). There's a lot of boys in her class. None of them very cute she reports.



Meeting her in the hall after her first class. Her impressions were that it wasn't long enough and her teacher, Mrs. Schofield, was very nice.




Gwen was probably the only 4 year-old in her school that first day of class. She turned 5 two days after school started this year. I made her a surprise Tangled cake and we had a beach party with her cousins at Lagoon-a-Beach. Notice Emily's cast. More on that next post.
