Schools Out

Yay! Schools finally out! We don't have huge plans this summer, but we are looking forward to making mini weekend-vacations.

Here's a picture of the graduating 3rd grade class at their awards ceremony. Her teacher said she was impressed how much she loved her family. Alisia always had stories about her family to share with the class! She is also gentle.

The end of the school year has brought many fun activities.
As a 3rd grade tradition, before they are officially 4th graders, they get to spend the night at the school. The class has been looking forward to this all year and had a lot of fun! They had dinner, played putt-putt, went to the park after dark, watched a movie, then read stories until the kids feel asleep. They were up bright and early for a pancake breakfast.

I had to run Alisia her allergy medicine to her cause she forgot it and was getting itchy. But I got to see some of the fun they were having!














Ready For Bed?

The kids made the pancakes with food coloring. The girls were happy these turned out as a rainbow:








Alisia also had her spring concert. It was so precious! I'm so excited to see Caleb up there next year!
These are from the dress rehersal:

Here's what she looked like on show day:
The kids were dressed up as animals and were praising their Creator.
Here's a part of one of my favorite songs they sang:

Welcome to the King's animal kingdom, hop on board to see what God has made.
Listen to the wild worship
Listen to the wild sing
Listen to the wild praise you
Praise you lord as king
They lift you up on high
chicks chirp
ducks quack
pigs oink
and hyenas laugh
Horses neigh
Cats meow.....

Those pancakes are pretty neat looking.
TO be able to hang out and par tay with friend, there's just nothing else like it.
That's what summers are all about, ya know!
