Happy Fall

Fall officially arrived yesterday as the Autumn equinox occurred.  The Autumn equinox is the point where there is exactly 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of darkness at the equator.   Now the days will get shorter until the Winter solstice in December.  Fall unofficially started three weeks ago here when school began. 

Jack is now a freshman in high school!

Katherine starting middle school!

 

I am still hanging out with the Haycock Cougar...

Surprise!  Katherine helped with orientation.  It gets pretty hot and sweaty in there...don't think she'll be applying to be a mascot again anytime soon.

 

In addition to starting school we also went on our 9th annual neighborhood camping trip.  This year's highlight was ziplining!

 

It was fun to get all the kids together for the weekend. 

 

We are now in the full swing of fall.  Jack is playing football (already had his first--hopefully last--concussion) and Katherine is preparing for the first Girl Scout camping trip...yes, I am chaperoning again. Looking forward to more adventures of the season. 

Happy Fall!
