The First Day of School Summer isn't over, but my kids' summer vacation is. Today, Abbie and Jack went to their first day of school for the year. I've never seen them more excited, except maybe on Christmas or their birthdays. While taking pictures this morning, I told Jack to smile like he was playing Wii. I was expecting a huge smile, but instead got the pose below. :)

Pretend like you're playing Wii Jack!

I remember loving the first day of school when I was a kid. It's great to see Abbie and Jack doing the same.

I especially like the thought of the things that follow the beginning of the school year: Broncos Football, DU Hockey and (my favorite) Ski Season. It's gonna be a great year.

I looked at the pictures before reading the post and thought "wonder why Jack is acting like he's milking a cow?"

Hahaha the Wii picture is hilarious. Being a father of a 4 year old myself, I know everyday I'm in for a big laugh just because little kids are so simple and logical
