One last time

Yesterday evening we went down to the beach for "one last time" before school and fall. Saturday and even Sunday morning it was hot again here. However, by Sunday evening, a storm and cool weather were blowing in. As it often seems to happen here, I had said that we would go, so we did. Jaan was the only one brave enough to go in the cold water. There were waves! We have only seen that once before.

This was as far as Raia went

First fall leaves!

Today actually feels like the beginning of fall! The leaves aren't changing yet, although we found one pear tree that had dropped a few pretty leaves on our way home last night. And this morning we started school. Everyone woke up to new notebooks and stickers on the table at their places....

But I'll have to write about the First Day of School later.
