Sundown on the Wando, Boone, Start of School

This summer flew by!  We took one last trip before school started back. The Sinclair family traveled to Boone and stayed in a mountain cabin.  We had a great time and the kids got to hang out with their new cousin Jonah.   The island had a concert by the river and we met some friends down there for a last summer hurrah.  Then school started! Avery is now a first grader and Salem is in 4K this year. Here we go!
