Back To School

It was 7:15 am and Nicholas was ready for school. He looked so handsome in his school uniform with his new haircut.

He arrived at school on time and didn't want his Mom to even walk him in. I however insisted and took more pictures before taking him to his classroom.

There were 20 eager students in the classroom all ready to use their new pencil boxes. Notice that Nicholas gets to sit right next to the teacher. This is certain to put an end to his talking (okay maybe not).

Poor Mrs. Platz, is it recess yet?

The Train Men

Nicholas and Papa went to a train show in Evanston. Nicholas got his official Hostler shirt complete with his embroidered name. Isn't he handsome!

Camp at Yellowstone

All the comforts of home, even the sewing machine. The kids had fun helping Nanie sew. Not so sure Nanie enjoyed it quite as much.

We had all kinds of weather. This was a torrential down pour which was followed by dime-sized hail. I lost the trailer awning in a wind gust the day before. The kids enjoyed making snow balls out of the hail. We had a snow ball fight well past dark.

Old Faithful and Geyser Basin

Nana and Nicholas waited patiently for Old Faithful to erupt. It was so hot Nana had to buy a hat and Nicholas stayed in her shade.

Vacation

The Wakefields and the Williams were off on another camping adventure. We had rain, hail heat, wind and a bunch of other excitement.

Bootsie is our newest family member. Nicholas does love his cats.
