End of the summer pictures

Here are some pictures taken just before school started, in mid-August. Lily got her little blue plastic swimmng pool...just in time to try and beat the heat during one of the hottest summers in Nebraska history. After three years in Norway, I honestly thought I was going to melt. Walking home from school with Lily everyday had us both sweating buckets. There were days that she didn't even want to get into her little pool because the water was too hot. Big change from Norway! :o) Needless to say, although we loved the flip flops and shorts of summer, we are looking forward to autumn. :o)
