Field Day

I was so impressed with field day, they all sat very patiently and waited their turn. Field day was in the morning with K-3rd grade. They were called one section at a time. They switched off partners for different events. The first event was leap frog, Shane and James were practicing proper technique. Then came the two legged race, which is easier said then done. But falling is more fun anyway.

Then came the burlap sack race. I am not quite sure why I missed the jumping picture.


Then the relay race, Shane was the second leg.



Last but not least the water balloon toss , Shane and his partner won, that balloon just did not want to break. I think they lucked out.

Off to Great Wolf Lodge!!!

We all took leave just in case Shane healed really really fast and had to go back to Iraq right away. So since there isn't a ton to do, we were off to Great Wolf Lodge. We swam of course and went on the water slides. We had to go to the arcade every night and I am pretty sure we had more fun than the kids...have you ever played Deal or No Deal...extremely addicting. Of course we ended our trip with a game of mini golf, winner TBA!

Kindergarten Program

I tried my best not to cry, but I have to admit I was extremely choked up. My little boy is not so little anymore. Although Daddy Shane came home unexpectedly I am extremely grateful he could be there to share that very proud moment. They sang a song for every month of the year and recited poems for most of the months. The last picture Shane and his friend James are critiquing their performance.

Sorry for the breakup...I tried to fix it...obviously did not succeed.
