End of School Year

The last few weeks of school brought lots of fun.  3rd grade and 1st grade took a joint field trip to the zoo, and I was so glad to chaperone this one.  It was such a fun day!
Mia and Danielle were excited to have a playdate together.  We started at the park, but about 15 minutes into our time there, Mia fell in a huge mud hole so we moved the party to our house.
Lily worked diligently on creating a new charm bracelet.
Ryan and I had a great date night at Local 3 and then at The Fox where we saw Paul Simon in concert.  He's still a great performer!
We celebrated "Last Day of School Eve" with some ice cream after dinner; it was such a beautiful evening.
Mia wrote this sweet birthday card for Mrs. Barbulescu.  She's been a great teacher!
The girls took different approaches to earning some extra money as they are saving up for something special.  Lily cleaned 40 windows in our house and cleaned out/swept out our very dirty garage; she earned $50 for her hard work.  Mia decided to set up a roadside stand "selling nature" with things like rocks, honeysuckle and pine cones from the yard.  She only made $2 as Granna happened to pass by!  She tried really hard to make a sale to one of our neighbors, but it ended up just being some playtime instead.

Decker wasn't quite as thrilled with the last couple of weeks as he had to wear the cone of shame after being neutered.
The girls had a blast on field day!  Big, huge thank you to my friend, Elizabeth Smith, who shared these fabulous pictures with me.
Lily and Nate competing in the 3-legged race.
Cambridge House working hard at tug of war!
Celebrating their hard-earned victory!
For the second year in a row, Cambridge took home the House Cup at the end of year awards ceremony!
After the awards ceremony, we changed clothes and headed out for bowling.  What a fun way to kick off summer!
The girls were exited to see a few of the fun things on this summer's agenda!
It's been another wonderful school year, but we're all happy to say "School's out for summer!"
