Thursday was the last day of school! It was bittersweet for the kids and me. (It was all sweet for Paul, no bitter for him. :) He's ready for a break from his classes.) The kids are going to miss their friends and teachers, but are excited for school to be out too. I'm a little worried about keeping the kids busy and entertained all summer, but also excited for life to slow down for a while. May is such a crazy month and a little more free time and family time sounds wonderful to me.
Levi came home from school with Rockwell, and then we went over to the park for a party with some friends from our neighborhood.
Aubrey brought over a bunch of games for the kids to play: volleyball, crossnet, spikeball, and cornhole.
The moms set up our chairs in the shade and got to visit while they played. We filled up a bunch of water balloons while Natalie made snow cones for the kids.
They played water balloon volleyball, and then had a water balloon fight.
It was such a fun start to summer break!!
Rockwell had a track meet Wednesday night. It was a great one for him! He ran the 100m dash and won his heat.
He threw the javelin and the shotput.
And did the running long jump.
We'll be in Hawaii during the regional track meet, so this was his last one of the season. I'm glad he and Levi chose to do it and had a good experience.
I rode my bike up the canyon on Wednesday. It was the last full day of school, so I wanted to get up there before summer started. There was nobody at Bridal Veil Falls, which never happens, so I stopped and enjoyed the solitude and beauty for a while.
I was looking for Rockwell and Tessa one afternoon and found them like this, laughing and talking while they ate popsicles. It was so fun to see them just hanging out together like that. They're growing up so much, and I hope they stay good friends as they do.
That is so fun that your neighborhood did that. That last picture of Rockwell and Tessa is priceless!
