Back to School

Allie is starting off 7th grade...her second year of middle school.  She's looking forward to her Steam classes, but not too thrilled about advanced math.  

 

Ayden is in 4th grade this year and super excited to be in class again with his best friend, Jackson.

 

This is year 22 for me!

Cuyahoga Valley National Park

The world reveals itself to those who travel on foot. A couple 3 mile-ish moderately intense hikes, a few shorter strolls to some beautiful views, and a scenic train ride…all through the Cuyahoga Valley. Proud of these kids for learning something new about our history and trekking up and down the mountains (with minimal complaining). Downtown was adorable, some amazing (and interesting) little shops, and dinner was had in an old factory building converted into a restaurant with beautiful views of the Cuyahoga River…literally right under us! While this summer has not exactly turned out how we imagined, I’m feeling thankful to have some family time together before summer ends…even in OH.
