End of summer Trolley ride

Megan in front of the trolley (at Riverside park in La Crosse)

Yesterday was the last day of summer we had to just hang out so we decided it was time to ride the trolley as we had been talking about it for weeks.

After meeting Shawn for lunch downtown we had some ice cream at the Pearl and browsed some stores before catching the trolley downtown (it took us awhile to be at the right place at the right time due to some misinformation from MTU and me forgetting our trolley brochure at home). Then we had a great ride around historic La Crosse. We ended our ride at Riverside park and relaxed a bit while Nessa nursed and then enjoyed some time hanging out in the fresh air.

It was a nice end to the summer. We're both excited for school to start and sad that the summer went so fast. Megan starts school Thursday (tomorrow!), but I won't be there for the first time. :-( as she'll be with her dad Thursday morning. So, we'll have to change our first day of school photo tradition a bit.

We met Megan's teacher and other new school teachers and specialists last night at the open house at school. Everyone seems just as wonderful as we expected. Megan is a bit sad that her best friends, "the twins" are not in her class this year and is also a bit worried about having more homework in 2nd grade, but is otherwise happy with school. I expect this year to go even better than last year.
