School has begun!

This morning Megan went off to 2nd grade! I walked her into her classroom, and the teacher let them choose where they wanted to sit, so she got to sit by her good friend Lilly today. I'm sure that made her happy. I'll miss her being with me at home, but it was nice to have something motivate me to get up and get going this morning. Routines can be nice. She's a cutie, and here she is just before leaving for school this morning:

Brad took off work Tuesday so we could do one last summer outing as a family. We had a great day! We drove down to Thanksgiving Point for their $2 Tuesday deal, and went through the Museum of Ancient Life they have there. I took tons of pictures that didn't turn out because our camera takes terrible indoor photos, but we had such a great time.



After the museum we had a picnic by the Provo River, then we went to the movie theater to see "How to Train Your Dragon". Who knew there really were still dollar theaters around?! We found a movie theater in Provo that was $1, and on Mondays it's only 75 cents!!! The rest of the week it's a whopping $1.50. Isn't that great?! So they had about 8 movies to choose from, and I think for sure we'll be back. The movie was cute!

After the movie we went to Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon. The girls biked up the trail, and then had tons of fun playing barefoot in the water below the falls.
Megan just kept going higher, and higher, and higher (barefoot). Later she told me that she was trying to hike up to the rock that she's sitting on in this photo:
