I've tried really hard all day to be as excited as Jacob is about school being out for the summer. I am excited for the t-ball games, trips to visit family, our summer vacation, Jake's day camps, the 4th of July and of course our long, hot days at the waterpark. What I'm having a hard time with is the fact that Jake is growing up...Kindergarten just flew by. It truly seems like I just dropped him off for his first day of school. I'm afraid that if I blink too long, I'll be watching him walk across the stage at his high school graduation. I want to stop time for just a little while...he's growing too quickly!
I'm proud to say that while I was very teary this afternoon, I didn't cry! Of course, I didn't stay too long in Miss Pins' room after the party. I just thanked her for an awesome year & went on my way. She is such a great teacher & person...I'll miss seeing her this summer.
This morning Jake's class & the other 2 Kindergarten classes went to Holmes Park for bomb pops and playing. The kids ran like crazy.
This afternoon we had a party with snacks and games.
The first game we played had the kids in a relay race...the catch was that they had to put on a pool floatie, a baseball glove, a baseball cap & sunglasses. They then had to kick a ball around a cone and remove their items so the next person could go. It was a stinkin' riot. 
Tomorrow we are heading out to the waterpark. We went for a couple of hours after school. Jake has gotten much braver this year. Brock, Carter & Jake went down the big yellow slide alone (we were at the bottom) and they went around the lazy river alone too. I'm taking baby steps in allowing him some independence....Allie however is stuck with me at her side all summer.
Enjoy the pictures...tomorrow I'll post waterpark shots!
