Last Day and 6th Grade Clapout

The last day of school started with Parker running off before I could get a photo of him...

Here's the link to First Day school photos.

Greg was working from home so he was able to walk to school with us.  He was still training for High Adventure (photos coming soon!) so he wore his 50 lbs. backpack for the walk! 

Then Mimi did the last day of morning announcements with her 2 buddies and one of our favorite school secretaries.  (Lately we are finding that being on the good side of school secretaries is PRICELESS!)  

 

 

The 6th grade teachers planned a fun day of games and events.  One was Candy Bar awards.   I volunteered to put that together.  Each student received a certificate and the candy to match.  Mimi was Pop Rocks, and she was pretty happy about.  

Most kids were happy or at least thought their award was funny. 

Clap out!  

Everyone cheers as the 6th graders march out for the last (symbolic) time.

 Yoda and his energetic teacher.  

Mimi out grew her teacher this year!

 Mimi's reading teacher has been amazing resource this year. 

Another of our Fav secretaries 

and a Photobomb!

 Then the day that Parker was dreading.  The hair cut before High Adventure...

Trip to Utah 2018

When we went target shooting with the kiddos on our trip to Utah...
Parker, "boom, I shot a cactus"
Me, "What did the cactus do to you?" 
Parker, "Everything"

As we walked by a lawn the sprinklers came on
Mimi, "oh, the grass wateters are on"

My mom, "I cut some watermelon, and there is a whole bowl cut up in the fridge"
Greg (misheard), "There is a HOBO cut up in the fridge?!?!"
All * Laughing!

More to come...

A moment of calm in our busy summer...

just wrestling and solving a Rubiks cube.

Mimi in the sky

For Girl Scouts we gave the girls a cookie sales goal and going Zip Lining would be their reward.  They totally did NOT meet it!  Zip Lining is pretty pricey, so we did a Rope Course instead which was more reasonably priced and it was a tad shorter.  Mimi LOVED it!  There was a short zip line at the end of each course.
