September was busy with back to school curriculum nights, parent teacher conferences, activity day girls, running Brenton to scout merit badge classes and camp outs, stake conference, oh and homework. Only a couple of events for the month worth blogging about.
September 6th Labor Day
We decided to go up to the Tennessee Aquarium. This will probably be the last time we use our year pass. After going through the 2 buildings, (which doesn't take very long on the 3rd time going there in 9 months) we decided to go explore around the buildings. Across the street is a river so we went to check it out. On the way back we walked on the other side of the aquarium and found steps to walk up and on those steps it was covered with water. I'm not sure how long these water steps have been there, but this is the first time we ever noticed them. It was a hot day so we let the kids have fun on the water stairs. They played there just about as long as we were in the aquarium. Of course, they only have the water running during the hot months, so in the colder months they are just plain old boring stairs.

Hayden was off of school the whole week of September 20-24th. This is one of the reasons why his school started 2 weeks early. I wish our county had these days off. It would be the perfect vacation time. Still warm pretty much anywhere and not crowded pretty much anywhere. It was nice to have my sidekick back for a few days. One of the days we went to my sisters subdivision pool and swam. I think this is the latest we have swam in Georgia. Usually by labor day it is too chilly in the morning to keep the pools warm. This has been an unusual summer for us very very hot and this September was no different most of the days were in the 90's. I used to know how many were above 90 but can't remember. I know it was way more than half the month.
September 24th
Talmage taught himself to ride a bike. Our neighbor gave us a kids bike they don't use anymore. He went outside and it only took 10 minutes and he came back in and said, "Mom, I just taught myself to ride a bike". So Kennedy and Payton got excited and went out about 5 minutes later both of them were riding too. Payton has had a bike for a couple years now but never really got into trying to ride it until now. The only problem is 3 kids and 2 bikes and the bike the neighbor gave us is really too small for them.
