I am so excited for summer vacation! Possibly more so than Erika is. I just love having all my kids with me....this entire kindergarten year was difficult to let her leave me each day. But, she truly thrived and grew and matured and I am so so proud of her! She made new friends, learned to read really well, can do addition and subtraction facts to 10, gained even more self confidence, and is well on her way to being the caring, confident, brilliant, Christ-like woman we are praying for her to become. I am amazed at the difference this one year of school has made Erika. She is becoming a regular little person with sassy and sweet attitude moments and so inquisitive....it is more and more fun every day to parent her!
The last day of school was, unfortunately, rainy and cold. But, that didn't stop the kindergartners from enjoying field day complete with water sponge catapulting, relay races and other games.

First day of kindergarten
Then, before the final dismissal, families were invited to join the kids for a bbq hot dog lunch.
Erika and the world's best kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Foster. Seriously, this was a great year because of this teacher!
Laurel and Levi and I made decorations to officially welcome the kids to summer time! Levi looks slightly frightened of summer in this picture.
Erika is ready for swimming. Regardless of swimming weather.
We ended the summer vacation celebration with popcorn and a movie and then the girls got to have a slumber party with each other.....possibly their favorite activity!
Bring on Summer! We have our summer to-do wish list ready, the free community summer programs in my calendar, reservations for two super fun vacations and lots of ice cream in the freezer!
