End of school year

 5th Grade Graduation. It was awesome. I was immensely and intensely crafted and implemented. I hope Alex will always remember this awesome event.

 Macey and Ryan were bored out of their minds. It was a long night for them.

 What's an occasion without pictures? Alex and Nico.

 Being photographed on all sides.

 Photo bomb. I don't think Dan purposely dressed the same as Alex, but since they did dress the same on the first day of kinder, I think it is appropriate for them to dress the same on the last day of elementary school!

 We were planning to go to cheesecake factory, but it was almost 9 before we got away from school. Alex requested KFC. We still owe him a nice dinner out.

 

On the official last day of school the 5th grade has a luau. Again, nothing is done small at our school. I professional DJ, a buffet table, and awesome decorations made a great party.

 Of course sometimes being weird is the best way to get attention.

 I love this kid, so I had to put this picture in!

 Conga line anyone?

 Flag ceremony for whole school.

 My new 3rd grader!

 Embarrassed by his mother... again.

 1st day of summer vacation. We took R, M and Asher to the water park. See Macey smiling. When she was ready for her turn, she would stand up, tilt her head and smile until she got the lifeguard's attention. She has learned to get what she wants from strangers without using words!

 Boys had a good time.

 Macey, Lucy and I went to the park. There was a turtle pond.

 There was a stinky smell.

 There was a 'troll' under the bridge. We were pretending the 3 billy goats were crossing the bridge. We then trekked along the creek a long ways. She is a hiker!

 Park today. 2 bats hanging a bit low for safety's sake.

I hope they survive the kids out for summer!
