First Day of School 2013

After a busy summer, the boys finally headed back to school:

McKay on his first day of 8th grade.  He is so glad he won't be called a "sevy" this year.  He also has the new experience of ridging the bus to school instead of carpooling.

Off he goes to the bus stop.  He wouldn't let me go with him, so I snapped a picture as he was on his way to the bus stop.

Josh all set for 3rd grade with Mrs. Knight and Jaxon all set for 6th grade with Mrs. Moedl.

Once the boys were off to school, Kayden and I headed to the zoo with some friends.  Since he is in kindergarten this year, he started a week after his brothers.

The zoo added a bunch of Lego exhibits along with a play area full of giant Legos.  Kayden had a good time building towers.  All day long he asked me to take his picture.

Kayden and his good buddies checking out the rhinos.  Kayden always had his zoo map in hand.

Having some fun climbing the rhino statue after lunch.

Polar bear statue--mom take my picture!

Now with the lion statue--ok mom?

How Kayden measures up to an orangutan.  He is as big as an adult male!

One of the new Lego exhibits at the zoo.  That's a lot of Legos!

Just monkeyin' around the zoo!

 

Finally the day came when Kayden got to start kindergarten with Mrs. Calton!  He was so excited to finally put on the new shoes that had been sitting in his closet for so long!

All the boys starting afternoon kindergarten that live in our neighborhood.  Out of all these boys, not one of them is in Kayden's class!

Kayden acting cool with his best buddies.

Lined up and ready to go!

And in he goes!  He had been waiting for this day for a long time!  Finally he gets to go to the same school as Josh and Jaxon!  It's going to be a great year!
