Not Back to School

 I can hardly believe that it's time for school to start again. The day before the public schools started, we spontaneously did a "Last Day before School Starts" adventure and went bowling and mini golfing at Fat Cats. The kids had a great time, and I'm just so grateful for these fun friends of ours. (Bless the Ward Family and how good and kind they are. They have been the best friends for our kids and such good friends to David and I. We are blessed to have them in our lives.) 











And with the first day of school right around the corner, that means one thing... our annual NOT BACK TO SCHOOL PARTY! 

One of our favorite traditions is to hang out at the pool with our favorite homeschool peeps and swim and eat donuts while all the other kids are getting on buses and headed back to school. 




This celebration reminds me that we are intentionally choosing this path because of the many opportunities it gives us, especially the joy of spending more time together. It also reminds me that we are part of a beautiful, brave, creative community of amazing people that are learning and growing with us. Pool+sun+donuts+people I love= the best way to start a new school year.
