The Beginnings of Summer

Summertime.  Does this make word make the song "Summertime" by Will Smith start playing in your head??  It does mine! :)  We used to play that record (yes, record!) in the percussion room back in the day.  Wow.  Wasn't that just yesterday??  But on to the real reason for this entry...

IT IS SUMMER!!  I can't believe that the school year is already over.  It's cliche, but it really does go by faster and faster every year.  We started the summer off with lots of fun this past weekend.

 Last day of school picture...with teacher gifts in hand.

 Celebrating "School's Out" with Spoons yummy-ness and our Downs crew

  My sweet girl...we have red faces because we walked to Spoons from our house (~ 1.5 miles!)  I've decided this is a good way to eat our Spoons treats....earn those calories! :)

Ellie had her last soccer game on Saturday.   Each player got a new soccer ball as their "trophy"

 The Lady Rams! (totally weird name, right?!? :)

 and then they had a celebration and there was bounce house fun!!

 And we had our first summer picnic...

 proof...ugly proof...but proof we were there...and we ate sandwiches :)

 the ducks were trying to join us for dinner

 it was a beautiful evening

 my good lookin' boy

I am so happy that summer is here so that I can spend more time with all of these people! 

 I am so blessed!!!
