First Day of School

Jake had his first day of kindergarten today! He was so excited. I got a little teary eyed saying goodbye, but he was too cool for school.

Hunter walked in the door and said, "Bye mom and dad!" Then he started to take off down the hall. We had to tell him to wait for us to walk him to class. I wonder if we cramped his style. I think next year I will say goodbye at the front of the school. He is on the second floor this year and is very excited about that. I doubt he and Jake will see each other at all. That is probably a good thing!

Circus Time

Hunter and Jake had a great time at the circus. We were able to go inside an hour before the show and see some acts. We got to see an elephant named Asia paint a picture. We also got to see the clowns do their acts.

Police Station

Hunter and Jake went to jail. They loved every minute of it. We got to tour the brand new police station in Round Rock. We got to go into the jail and sit in the police car. We also got to see the guns they use.

Teachers

We had dinner with Hunter's Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Malkani (Ms. Kiesling). She was in town from Philadelphia for her brother in law's wedding. We also went to see Mrs. Nino, Hunter's first grade teacher, at her new school. She is now an Asst. Principal. Hunter was so excited to see them both. The boys new teachers came to our home for us to meet them. Hunter is going to have Mrs. Ritter for 2nd grade. She is brand new to Cactus Ranch.

Jake is so excited about Kindergarten. He will have Mrs. Findlay. She is also brand new to Cactus Ranch. This is going to be a great year! Neither boys have any of their friends in their classes. We have 12 kindergarten classes and 11 second grade classes.
