Well, summer is officially coming to an end. Tomorrow is the last day and I start school on Tuesday. I can't believe I'm going to be a kindergartener!  Mom is a wreck but she's trying to put on a brave face for me.  We went to my school and met my teacher and all of my classmates so I'm getting pretty excited.

We had some friends over tonight to celebrate the end of summer...some of my buddies who are going to different schools.  We had a blast and I know I'll still get to see them lots.  When I took a bath tonight, I told Mom that it feels good to have friends. I know I'll make lots more in kindergarten but I really love the ones I already have.

So, of course, the rest of the summer has been filled with lots of fun stuff.  We took a family vacation to Myrtle Beach and stayed in this awesome place that had it's own water park. Mom was disappointed that Ryan and I wanted to spend more time there than at the beach but what did she expect?!    We went Saturday through Thursday and made it home just in time to get ready for Hurricane Irene. We lost power for a few days, which really stunk.  Mom kept trying to tell us that we should just be thankful that we didn't lose anything and that a long time ago, people didn't EVER have electricity but honestly, that didn't make me feel any better about the situation.  I was SO glad to get it back, have some air-conditioning, and play my Wii.

Anyway, here's some pictures. I'll be back this week to update on my first day of school!!!
