Watermelon Relays and Fantastic Frog Icecream

Let the summer BEGIN............... Two days before Emma got out of school for the summer, they had a Watermelon Day, complete with sliced watermelon, relay races and ice cream sundaes. Here Emma is waiting her turn to do the egg on the spoon relay.

Her group came in first during the jump roping relay- one poor child( I will let remain anonymous) ran down while making the jump rope go backwards in instead of forward, and kept tripping over his own feet and was like a big gangly puppy, with no coordination and had all us parents rolling on the floor. The rope was tangled around his ankles and he was on the ground more than he was running. Please someone give that kid some lessons.

Reece's class was called the Fantastic frogs this year. They had a water day and a picnic lunch to end the year. He loved his teachers and with their help came out of his shell and warmed up to socializing in class and enjoying some time away from mom. This is Ms. Susan and Ms. Kate with Reece. I had to bribe him to get him to pose for this picture.

Reece and his best friend Jake- will someone please tickle Jake, I need to see a smile. Once while over at our house, he told Rick that he was a ninja and to refer to him as a ninja not Jake. These two are going to have a blast together over the summer.

As for our summer plans, we make our annual trip up to D.C. to see rick's parents and our nieces. I think we may be leaving on that in a few weeks. Then, possibly to see my dad in Myrtle Beach for some seadoo fun and stay in a beach cottage. I have kept our summer plans regarding the kids pretty minimal, so we could make time for traveling. To all our friends if you are in the area, please stop in, the pool is getting a new patio and that is probably where you'll find us every afternoon.
