It was an early morning.  Julie's bus came at 7 AM and the boys followed shortly after.  Summer if officially over!  It was hard to watch them all hop on a different bus and head off to school.  This is the first time I haven't had a child at the elementary school in years.   Beau is a freshman, Jack 8th grade and Julie a 5th grader.  Now I can't wait for them to come home so I can hear the stories about their day!

Slaughter Pen is a bicycle trail system in Bentonville AR.  I rode it recently with my 2 teenage sons and had a blast. We rode most of the trails in Phase 1 and 2 and look forward to visiting again.
