Schooooooooooools out fooor the summer!!!!!!!!

Yippee!!! School is out for the summer. My son and I are both rejoicing. I surprised him after school and took him to see Kung Fu Panda. The perfect movie for end of the year fun!

I was suppose to work Tuesday and Wednesday (my last two days of work), but we had no power at my school. There have been several schools in the district with out power due to the bad thunderstorms that came our way over the weekend and Monday evening. I wish I could of said goodbye to the kids at my school, but I had fun helping at my son's school. In fact, when we were at the theater we ran into a large group of ladies going to the movies because they have been with out power for one too many days. They decided to escape their homes and hit the movies.

I thought I'd share some photos of summer fun. They are from my son's end of the year picnic at school. They played several games like, Tag and everyone was IT, water balloon fights, eating through whip cream to get to the gum balls and blowing bubbles, etc... They even had one game where the leader gave them these rules and the kids figured out how to accomplish the task: You have to use the wooden poles and build a ladder that is as tall as her, and three people have to climb it. Believe it or not, but they actually thought of three ways to do this. My dear boy figured out a great way to do it, and the leader said she hadn't ever seen anyone do it that way and praised him for it :) He had them build the shape of the ladder, lift it up off the ground high enough for the kids to pull themselves up by each rung and go under it. Pretty creative!

I know our family is wishing you tons of summer fun!!!
