Summer and start of school

Since Hayley is in a year-round school, our summer was short and she’s been back at Salem for two weeks now – her last year there! This year Mason from next door has joined her.

First day!

It was a good summer though. Hayley was at moviemaking camp again and we await their premiere on the big screen later this month. She’s been doing great at riding, we love this barn and she’s got a new saddle now. I need to bring the good camera out and shoot her jumping, even if watching her jump terrifies me.

We took a fabulous cooking class with our dear friend Sara at the always amazing Southern Season. Their store gets bigger every time I’m there, it’s 60,000 square feet now! The cooking school was state of the art and fantastic. I’m so stoked she is old enough to take the adult stuff with me!

Amazing setup – the flat screens could show you what was inside the mixing bowl

We went up to Blacksburg VA for the 4th again to spend it with Jeff’s family. I’ll post more photos from that later but I never have my camera out there, I’ve got to do better. Jeff did the 5k again and shaved a bunch of time off – he’s awesome.

Hayley took a ton of photos at the art museum there – looks like Grandma Sharen posed in one with some interesting stuff!

We stopped at Pilot Mountain on the way back and went up to the top.

Right before she went back to school, we got to see Rachel and her family, I’ll post more photos from that later too.
