AHS Open House

The high school open house normally wouldn't be a blog-worthy event, but this year was very different. I took Carmen and Damon around to their classes by myself, because Amber had to be in her classroom to meet the parents of the kids in her classes. We stopped by to say hi, of course.

First day of school

The summer went by too fast, as usual, and this week was the first day of school. We had some big changes this year. With Olivia graduated, we only had 3 for first day pictures.

And I should have gotten a picture of Amber, since it was her first day as a teacher, too.

Hot Wheels Legends Tour

We had a free Saturday, so I took the kids to see the Hot Wheels Legends Tour. We went three years ago and this one was very similar. The event was held in a Walmart parking lot and featured lots of interesting cars.

My favorite was this car that was cut in half lengthwise, then put back together to make it narrower. We talked to the creator for a while. He said he has a regular-sized version also, so this one is Flaca and the regular one is Gordo.

Of course there were a bunch of real-life Hot Wheels cars.

The Tour is sponsored by Mobil 1, so of course I had to get a picture with the Mobil 1 branded cars.

They didn't have as many activities as the last one, so after we looked at all the cars, we got our "package" picture, then got a snack in the Walmart before heading home.
