First day of school!

Today was the first day of school! Avery started first grade at Fleming Island Elementary and Cooper started at a mother's morning out program for 2 year olds called Busy Bees at New Grace church.

Avery & her teacher Mrs. Ramirez

Cooper checking out the playground at his school.

They both had a great first day. Avery goes from 8:15-2:25 each day and Cooper goes on Mondays and Wednesdays from 8:45-12:30. They both eat lunch at school and come home tired--well Cooper anyway:) A great start to the school year :)

Disney!!

We spent two hot days at Disney~Matt was on leave and it is Ave's last week before going back to school, so we decided to brave it! We had a good time, our days were just not as long as they could have been...we're melting!!!! This first picture is not clear because the camera was cool and we had just brought it out into the heat...a little foggy :) Cooper's first time on the Dumbo ride!

Avery's first rollercoaster--she loved it!!

Hanging out with Buzz Lightyear at downtown Disney.

...and Mickey and Minnie...

We ate at the Rainforest Cafe, right next to the elephants...

Avery and Cooper dancing along with a funny guy on stage...random Disney fun!

The character breakfast...Cooper was very excited to see Goofy...until he got to close "no goofy!"...then he went right back to perfectly happy and excited to see Goofy again as soon as he moved a safe distance away :)

Avery went right up and gave Goofy a big hug and a kiss

Beach!

We finally made it out to the beach~the kids had fun in the sand and in the waves. It was an overcast day, so that was perfect for those of us still trying to adjust to the Florida heat and sunshine! He did have fun...really!Avery loved playing in the waves.

Looking for seashells... Posing with the fish statue.

Coop's not so sure...
