Last Day of Summer

My 6th year of teaching has officially started!  We started with a few teacher days last week and will start seeing kids on Monday.  I'm looking forward to this school year but I'm sad to see the summer end.  I've really enjoyed spending time with Nola and getting some stuff done around the house napping.  I wanted to start a tradition with Nola so Robert took a day off work and we spent my last day of summer together as a family.  We went to Lincoln and spent the morning at the Children's Museum.  I've never been and wasn't sure what to expect.  It was awesome!  There were different rooms set up as local grocery stores, banks and stores.  There was also a space area, farm area, water area and much, much more.  Nola had a blast.  So did Robert.  Get ready for lots of pictures....

Hanging out in the 3 and under area.  It had games for toddlers and a tree house that Nola loved.

Sam and Louie's employee.

Riding a horse in the Farm area.

Grocery shopping at Hy-vee

Father/Daughter time on the Lunar Rover.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles.  Nola's favorite because of the steering-wheels.

In the kitchen.

Her favorite part- the water room.

Nola was sooooo good the whole morning.  She was so excited.  We will defiantly be going back.  I think it will be even more fun for her as she gets older.  We spent the rest of the day running errands and had a nice dinner.  The next day I went to school and Nola went back to daycare.

When Robert dropped her off at daycare he said she immediately started giving hugs to all the kids.  That makes me feel a little better about going back to school!!
