School is back in full swing but we are still finding some time for outdoor fun. Merrick is playing on the school soccer team, when the rain and fields permit. They absolutely destroyed a field on the other side of town as each player was sinking in a few inches with each step. Grace and Merrick and I hit the ropes course and Zip-line to check off the last summer bucket list item..albeit technically a little late. Ella and I ran a 5 K and she took 2nd in her division and we were both happy with our times for an early Saturday morning jog. Sophia is working at her new job and Grace is getting back on the court as Basketball practice has already started.
