Last days of summer

Thursday was Damian's last final for this trimester. His hard work has paid off! He ended the trimester with great grades! Thursday evening was meet-the-teacher night for Clara. Her teacher is Miss Murphy. She is young and seems very nice. Clara knows 2 girls that are in her class. I wanted to do something fun this weekend since it is the only time Damian and Clara overlap as far as breaks go. We have been swimming together and attended a dog show that the apartment put on last night. Clara, especially, enjoyed seeing the dogs. She is still very much dog crazy! Today we decided to pack up a lunch and go to Lewisville Lake which is only about 10 minutes down the road. We did have to pay $10 just to enter, but figured it was still the cheapest entertainment in town. The Lewisville Fire Dept was at the "beach" handing out free life jackets for kids. That alone was worth our $10. Ollie and Izzy already had functioning life jackets, but Clara had long outgrown hers. The kids kept saying they had a good time playing in the sand and rocks, so it was worth the trip.
