End of Year Party

Well, we are all so relieved that the school year has come to an end. I do feel sad that another year has come and gone and now my kids are another year older. But we just love the lazy days of summer! This year we did something a little different for our own little family "reward party". We took the kids to John's Incredible Pizza after Spencer's graduation. Ali had to miss school that day since Tanessa had a swim meet later that evening in Bakersfield and with gas prices I couldn't affort two trips down the canyon in one day. Now, I say "had to miss school" because she was not very happy about this. This happened to be the same day her class got their end of the year sprinkler party. I, too, was a little bummed because every year on sprinkler day, I go and take pictures of my kids with their friends. It took a while to get over it but I finally did.....I think. Yeah, for the most part. Anyway, with Tanessa homeschooling another year, she misses out on all the fun school stuff. Like end of the year parties and reward days. So, it seemed like a logical idea we do our own. And this also sufficed as Spencer's graduation present! He even said that he was glad I didn't get him a present cause going to John's was way better. So after graduation and a couple errands, we were off to play. And it was like a double whammie because later in the day, we had time to kill before swim and took them to a park to play. All in all, it was a great day.

Happy Summer Everybody!
