Soaking up summer! 1st days of 8th, 6th, and 3rd Grade!!

The day after we got back from our East side trip, Ellie had 6th grade WEB (Where Everyone Belongs) orientation for Hart Middle School!
Afterwards, she and Riley hung out to talk all things middle school. :)
Luke and Elle off to Hart for their class schedules and to try out their new lockers! 
Below, Luke is with all his buddies...
Dad and Elle trying her locker combination! Can't believe Ellie is in middle school?!
Ellie saw a signup for Cross Country and guess who signed up on the spot? This brave gal did!
Then off to Drew's Meet the Teacher! Miss Cunningham is the only McG teacher to have the trifecta. She has now had all 3 Morins for 3rd grade!

Next up, getting all of those school supplies...

Ben and Luke off on their annual summer bike ride through the trails and then to the downtown donut shop!


Wyatt and Drew always playing football in the backyard.
We dropped off Ellie off in Ann Arbor for the week to be with Uncle Tom, Aunt Cathy, Aunt Deb, Cousin Sara and Rose (from England). Elle and Rose had so much fun staying the week together!

Elle is my girl for sure...She loves her steak!

Celebrating Aunt Cathy's birthday! We love you so, so much Aunt Cathy!!

Back at home, Drew and his team celebrated 3 of his baseball buddies birthdays with a suite for a game at Jimmy John's field!
The birthday boys even got to take turns throwing out the first pitch!

After Drew's birthday party at Jimmy John's field...He was dropped off at the party for a few nights too!
We all met up at Aunt Cathy and Uncle Tom's for a family day!

We took turns painting the horse!!











A recreated picture taken many years later with cousin Rose!
After the party...We took off for Elle's 1st cell phone!!

Aunt Cathy also surprised Luke with a new phone.💙

The party was on a Saturday and I had school starting Monday buttttt one thing was still on our list, a girls trip to Cedar Point! So we had a choice. After all day in Ann Arbor, were we ready to wake up early and head out for the day...Absolutely!!
A day with Ellie, Zaydee and the moms!
The trip was so spontaneous and it was perfect!! The four of us had so much fun!!



The next week, I was back to school. Ben took Elle and Drew to Belle Isle for their first time! They rode their bikes around the island...


Saw the Detroit skyline...

Visited the aquarium...

Called the Cosbeys who were also in Detroit so they stopped by too!



And wen for a swim!

On a beautiful day getting a jog in!
And here we are...The first day of school for our 8th, 6th and 3rd graders!!
