Rain storm

The rain storms in Kansas come in fast.  The clouds are beautiful and change quickly.

Slip n slide fun

The kids enjoyed water games for our neighbor's birthday party on Saturday. The slip n slide was their favorite. Perfect for our hot and humid weather.

First Day of School

Today was the first day of school for the kids. They were both excited and nervous but seemed to be okay walking to school. It poured last night but let up this morning which was nice since the kids really wanted to walk to school. Of course, the AZ kids had umbrellas. It was misting so it makes sense :) 

 

 Our neighbors walked with us. Brison, Tyler, Joey, Aubrey and Keira.

Physicals

The kids had their physicals last week. It is a requirement to get one before school and sports. Both are healthy did really well.

 

 Keira really wanted to need glasses. She doesn't but the second she got home she put her play glasses on. This is what she looked like for about 3 days.

 

The kids didn't need any shots but the military feels the need to test cholesterol, blood sugar, and vitamin D levels around the age of 9. So, my brave boy had his blood drawn. He had huge gator tears (this kids doesn't like needles) but did really well. 

Park time

There are a lot of different parks on post. This one is next to our house and the kid's school. 

 

You can see the kid's school behind the play structures.

 This is the back side of our house (standing at the park). We live in a duplex so our neighbors are closest to the street. We live on the right side at this angle.

Tyler was swinging so high he could touch a tree branch with his foot. He thought it was cool.
