Summer Days

With the coming of summer, we finally got to really enjoy the outdoors.

Last day of school

The last day of school I rode the bus.  Luckily my best friend P also rides the bus from the Y.

C had ride your bike to school day, so she hopped on her three-wheeler for the last 10 feet!

Another year gone by and summer ahead!

Casa Bonita

In order to celebrate our big accomplishments of B graduating from Kindergarten and C finishing her first year of preschool, M&D took us to Denver to go crazy!  We ended up at the Mexican restaurant Casa Bonita, which has shows and adventures while you eat.

We ate near the waterfall so we watched the divers and the sheriff capture Black Bart while we ate.  Then we walked around the restaurant to see all the other sights, including Black Bart's hideout, a puppet show and the gold mine caves.

End of year celebrations

The last week of school was field day.  M came to help over her lunch break and watched us play a few games and have our Popsicle break--although it was such a cold, windy day.

Mrs. Walker's kindergarten class enjoying treats.

Toilet tag--a game we played frequently in gym class.  Notice that in order to be unfrozen, someone has to "flush" you and you have to turn around twice before running off again!

C's celebration for year end!

She wants to be a princess when she grows up.  M didn't get it on camera, but the first boy to answer (after 4 girls all saying princess) also decided he wanted to be a princess!!  After much laughter from the audience (ie. parents) he decided he wanted to be a truck driver and a princess!

Swimming lessons at the Y

As part of the preschool curriculum at the Y, swimming lessons are given once a week.  The last day of lessons, parents were invited to watch.

Look at C go!

 

Mother's day

We spent a very simple Mother's Day. After church we went to visit G.  

Then while D grilled steak, M went on a last bike ride for what she thought was her triathlon the next week.  A relaxing day for M with the people she loves most.

My first crush's birthday

At the end of April, in between snow storms, I had the opportunity to go to a BOY'S birthday party.  He was my favorite boy from my kindergarten class.

We went on a treasure hunt around his yard, hit the pinata, watched him open presents and ate dirt cake.  It was a good birthday party!

Here's Zane getting ready to blow out his candles.  What a cutie!
