Washington, D.C.

     Our recent trip to Washington, D.C. was a long time in the making and filled with many memories. What a great time we had together as a family; it was such an awesome trip!!  

Once I have a chance to complete a photo book of our trip, I will post it as well.

In the meantime, here are just a few pictures:

 The Lincoln Memorial was much larger than we expected it to be!!  

 The White House

 Changing of the guards at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery

It just doesn't seem possible that our summer has come to an end!!  

Where did the summer go?

 Welcome back, Danielle!

 Goofing around...

 Time to cool off after a VERY warm open house night...

 Another great bonding opportunity...

We had an awesome turnout at Trails.  I think we had 30 teachers show up!! :)

Ready or not, here comes another school year!!

Whirlyball, Anyone?

     What the heck is Whirlyball?  We decided to find out this summer as our "back to school" gathering.  Sign ups were in June, which was before my unexpected surgery, so I had to settle on being the photographer this time around.  Nonetheless, it was a blast to watch, and I can't wait to participate the next time we go!!

The Whirlyball Gang

      Whirlyball is a combination of lacrosse and bumper cars, and it is played on a special court. There are two teams (five on each team) vying to "shoot" or "score" a point.  There is a running timer as well.  As of now, there are only 17 Whirlyball courts in the United States.

 Here is Todd enjoying a "pregame" beverage.

 The shop teacher kissing the secretary in between games... (Mr. and Mrs. Hill) :0)

What a great end of the summer and group bonding activity!!
