School’s Out!

Well, I’m a couple weeks behind on this post but better late than never!  Big Bro is officially done with elementary school…not sure if we should be celebrating or crying.   Either way, it’s finally here and after a whole week of activities at school and with friends….here are some shots from a great week of celebrating:

5th Grade Field Trip to Busch Gardens with a good friend

 

                              Award #1                                                      Presidential Award #2

The Banquet… where to begin.  At our school, the 5th grade banquet is a major affair, not something to be taken lightly.  Planning began in July and the theme voted on in September.  Teams of moms (yes, me, too) planned, created, decorated and ultimately assisted to prepare an elaborate send off for our precious babies. It was really a spectacular event and I think all the kids and parents (even those who decorated) were surprised at how it looked!

Entrance to Party…kids loved this part!   There

were even two limos as part of the scene!                             Big Bro entering the party!                   

Let the fun begin…                                                      Big Bro (center) gettin’ his groove on!

            

 

Here are the limos that took his class to Cici’s the next day!

 

Big Bro was the first one out of class and the first one in the Hummer Limo!   This was a surprise so his face says it all! 

 

Daddy was excited, too, because they asked him to ride up front (not planned at all!) and give driver directions to extend their ride before going to eat.  Look at that smile!  

  

So, here we are, end of June and six years of elementary school and many memories behind us…ready for the journey ahead but sad for the end of this period of his life.   As they say, though, the best is yet to come!
