Happy First (or Seventh) Birthday Ernie!

A Ride with Captain Fran

Snorkel kids!

Look who learned to snorkel!!

Last day of school!

Today was the last day of school, which included the bridging ceremony for the children leaving the Kindergarten to go to First Grade - like Emerson! Each child is called to cross the rainbow bridge and light a candle, which they then place in a large shell before going to stand with their First Grade teacher, Mrs. Brown. It was beautiful. (Mama cried.)

After that, it was time to go to Honeymoon Island for the great boat launch. The boys were sooooo excited to sail the boats they had made over the past few weeks that they sailed them in a puddle in the parking lot. We did eventually move to the beach and sail them in the waves (though Ethan's was not totally sea-worthy).

It was a great year! Now looking forward to a great summer.

Second lost tooth and Victory Showcase

Emerson had hoped to lose his second tooth at school - losing a tooth in the class is a BIG deal - and it was very close but he did it! His tooth came out just two days before last day of school. Never mind that it got lost just before pick up - the tooth fairy knows what to do.

The other big event today was the end of the year Victory Gymnastics Showcase where the boys got to show off everything that they have learned this past year, including their proud salutes.
