Summer is county and state fair time. Sophia and I went to the county fair and we joined Heather, Todd and Katlyn for the state fair. We watched some horse racing at the state fair which was the highlight for Sophia.
Sophia got her braces on the week before school started. She did amazingly well. She remained brave throughout her appointment and adjusted to having the braces on in no time. Her bottom tooth that was coming down in front of her top teeth when biting down moved in less than 24 hours. It was amazing. She responded, no wonder why it hurt when the orthodontist told her.
Sophia got her hair cut before school started. She decided to cut it short. It looks really cute and is so much easier to take care of. The cut makes her look older.
Our our way to Hershey we went to a privately owned zoo. There was a safari ride and we got to feed animals. This was a lot of fun.

We went to Hershey Park this year. .Sophia loved the tour at Chocolate World best of all. She doesn't like to eat chocolate but loved the tour. We had fun at the water park and some of the smaller rides. Steve tried to coax her onto the smaller roller coasters but that didn't happen.
Sophia started school the last week of August. She likes her teacher and is grouped with one of her best friends. A good start to second grade.
My 98 Honda Civic, Bessie, finally needed to be sold. The repairs were becoming more frequent and we couldn't keep putting money into the car. It served me well. It had 229,000 miles on it!! We stuck with a Honda. I am now driving a 09 CRV. It is nice to be driving a "new" car.
