This week marked the beginning of the end of the school year. With that came all the usual end of year excitement and stress. This year the end is a bit staggered. Elsie's last day came first. Her last day was Friday. Of course I had to pick her up instead of having her ride the bus so that we could celebrate with everyone at the school and take part of the traditional last day bus send off. She was also really excited for a visit from Chipper, the school mascot.
Since school got out early (10:40am), we went straight from school to the park with some friends. The kids got to play and we had a pizza party. It was a great way to kick off the summer.
Friday night was also high school graduation. This year was Kalani's turn to graduate. To say that this was a tough year for Kalani would be a gross understatement and we weren't actually sure if he would graduate. Somehow he made it happen and now he's off to Western Oregon to play football. He also got to have Signing Day this week as well. It's been a big week!
Unfortunately for Merrick and CC, they are not done until tomorrow. Carrigan just has a field day and likely won't go, but Merrick has 2 finals so he has to still be locked and loaded tomorrow. In any case, summer is coming in hot and I can't wait. I just have to make it until Friday and then I am off too.
