September Updates

Everyone seems to be settling in for the school year. Andrew has volleyball tryouts tomorrow morning. Hannah is getting more comfortable with high school. Leah is enjoying being at the top of the school this year in Grade 8. Daniel is looking forward to riding his bike to school before it gets too cold (it is about 4 miles and this is the first year we will let him do it). Julia is happy she got a really good teacher this year.

Tomorrow is the Wellesely Fall Fair (kind of like a 4-H fair for all you Americans) and we are taking 3 horses. They do have some classes and Leah's 4-H horse club is doing a precision riding demonstration. They will also ride their horses in the parade (remember doing that, Linda, in the Spoon River Day Parade??) All the kids get out of school for the afternoon and the local schools always have a group that walks in the parade. They then have a carnival after the parade. There is also the exhibition building with all the exhibits and a pet show. This will be the first year in many we aren't bringing kittens/cats to the pet show.

Sounds like fun. Wish I could be there to help you get ready for the parade and watch with the others.
