School Days Again


The official Allen ISD start date is today. Sheela has started 2nd grade and Sunil still has a year of pre-school before Kindergarten. Today was his official first day too (he's actually been at this school since June 1.) but now he gets to wear a uniform. Grammylyn took some pictures of the kids for me this morning but I wont get them until after she gets back to TN. Her flight is midday today. I'm going to miss her -- we had a wonderful time.

Yesterday Grammylyn, Sheela, Sunil and I went to the Heard Museum here in McKinney. It was the first time I've ever been there but I've known about it for years. They have a large collection of venomous snakes, most of which are in VA at the National Boy Scout Jamboree, and an extensive collection of Raptors, which were also off educating someone about something. But there was enough stuff still there to keep the kids (and adults) entertained. They even have a few miles of hiking trails so we managed a mile and a half trail under the trees during the rain and didn't even get wet. There aren't too many places in Texas that you can get the trees close enough together for that sort of thing.
