Jim and Rick
Later in the afternoon we went to Aurora, about 45 minutes away, to meet our grandson Jack as he got off the school bus. It was his first day of kindergarten and also the first time riding the bus by himself. We joined Jack's mom at the corner to wait. The bus was about 40 minutes late, but it finally arrived, and when Jack got off he was really excited, but very tired after being up all last night worrying about it. He fell asleep in the car on the way back to our place. He's with Rick this weekend, so we'll able to spend some time with him.

Jack is telling Rick and Jim all about his first day at school.
We went back to the Casino and had dinner. They have great food. Rick dropped us off and went on home. We settled in for the evening with the NASCAR Nationwide race, and watching the hurricane Irene updates. We're concerned about our family in NC, but God willing they'll all be fine.
Tomorrow we start a busy weekend with Rick and the family.

How nice that you were able to be there for the first day of school and riding the bus. Neat!
Boy brought back memories of my sons 1st day of school...how special...of course before he left he had to ask me why he had to go because he was sure he already knew more than the teacher.
