It was just the end of 5th grade. Now Evan has been in 6th grade for 4 days. I don't like time going by so fast! We had a great summer even though part of it was interrupted by my foot surgery. But, the good news on that is my foot is healing, I can drive again and I can start going to the gym! 10/4-Evan has now been in middle school for about 6 wks and he's loving it. According to him it's a piece of cake.
Our big summer trip was supposed to start on June 30th BUT we ended up leaving on June 29th after a crazy storm blew through Columbus. At 4:30 p.m., we lost power AND had a big limb fall from our tree and block our driveway. Of course, I was having a stroke by this point. Our wonderful neighbors immediately descended upon our house and helped move the limb (and subsequently cleaned up our yard and cut up the branches when we were gone). Given our history with power outages (it was out for 8 days) and the magnitude of the storm, I knew we wouldn't get our power back on so we made the decision to load up and get the hell out of Dodge! After that rocky beginning, we had the best vacation. We stayed in KOA campgrounds along the way and now I think my husband is hooked on camping! We went to the Badlands, the Black Hills of SD, Devil's Tower, Yellowstone. And, I managed to cross off two more states so now I've been to 46 states. I am determined to get to all 50!!
