b-bye summer!

First day of school for the CNMs!!  And here's the big news: it is a new school.  We had a wonderful opportunity to enroll them in St John's Academy which is just blocks from the house.  First day was yesterday, and so far so good!

We split the family up for an end-of summer vacation.  Here is Conner with Mummy in Chicago.  It has been too long since the whole fam visited Jilly and Ronan in Chitown.  They had a blast.

Here is Uncle Ted helping Conner with one of his favorite park activities.  We call it the catapult.  He stands on the new-age see-saw facing out and then gets serious air and lands on soft rubber mulch.  

Here is the catapult with Daddy.  We are talking serious air...

Anyway, while Conner and Mummy were in Chicago, Carson and Daddy joined Grandma on a Road Scholar program in Park City, Utah.  It was amazing.

We stayed at the base of the ski slopes and enjoyed an amusement park with an Olympics theme.  Carson wowed everyone with his high flying trampoline act.  Above, he is in middle of a double backflip.

We toured the US Olympic team training facility.  Here are all the kiddos posing with nordic ski jump athlete Brent Denning.

Another fun shot from the amusement park.  We also hit a fun water park, rafted down a river in Provo, and climbed a mountain to tour a huge cave.

 

The hot air balloon ride was a definite highlight.  The whole Marsh family ended the summer in style, and now we're ready to tackle an exciting new school year.  Hope you are doing well!
