Fall sports have started

Wesley had his first flag football game and first fall travel soccer game with his new team on Sunday. His football game was a scrimmage. Wesley did great on defense, pulling lots of flags. His team won their soccer game 4-0. Wesley had a great game! Brandon will be starting his soccer clinic in a few weeks.

9-11

I can’t believe it has been 20 years already since 9-11 happened. I still vividly remember so many things about the day.

Wesley learned a lot about 9-11 in the first two days of school and wanted to see the lights. We went to dinner in Atlantic Highlands and then were able to see the lights from there and also went to Mount Mitchell.

Maroon 5 concert

We went to the Maroon 5 concert on September 10th at PNC. They were great in concert!

First Day of School

Brandon and Wesley started school on September 9. Wesley has Ms. Kerber and Mr. Reisler for 5th grade. Brandon has a lot of different teachers since he has 8 blocks. They still need to wear masks to school this year. Both had a great first day!

Vacation Part 2- Bar Harbor, Maine/ Acadia National Park

For our second half of our vacation we went to Bar Harbor, Maine and went to Acadia National Park. We hiked, ate at some great restaurants, walked to Bar Island at low tide, saw the lighthouse at Bass Harbor Head, went to Jordan Pond, Thunder Hole, and the top of Cadillac Mountain, and stopped at Shipyard Brewery in Portland.
