Pool Day!

Even after the kids not having much sleep because of their tent sleepover, we decided we would take all of them to the pool because it was Memorial Day after all!  The water was warmer than we expected and the kids had a lot of fun at Southland Pool!

Fishing trip at Herrington and 1st night in a tent!

We stayed home for Memorial Day weekend this year for the first time in a long time (normally we go to Nolin Lake) and even though we missed not being at Nolin, we had a great time anyway.  On Sunday, we got the boat out for the first time this year and went to Herrington to take the kids fishing.  The water was still a little chilly (actually freezing) so we didn't think anyone would do any swimming but of course the kids couldn't resist!

They had a great time catching blue gill and "petting them" and then throwing them back in.

After we left the lake, we had plans to go to the Cissell's for a cook out and the men and the kids were going to camp out in tents in their back yard.  The kids had it rough when Jason rigged up a TV in the tent so that they could watch Frozen after they finished their smores by the fire.  The kids had a great time--don't think much sleep was had by anyone though! 

Strawberry Pickin'

The best strawberries come from Boyd's Orchard and they always taste better when you pick them yourself!  Boyd's is always a special treat because of all of the other fun things to do there too!  We definitely made a day out of it!

Last Day of 3-year old Pre-school

Addison has LOVED her first year as a pre-schooler and it has been great for her.  She has also loved the little friends that she has made as well as her sweet teachers, Mrs. Kim and Mrs. Anne.  This is the face she made the morning of her last day of school:

They were having a special last day of school program that day so I took her to school and then went to the auditorium to get seats for the program.  The pictures aren't great but the thing I loved the most was this:

They did a slide show of all the kids and some of their favorite things that their teachers asked them about.  Addisons were:  favorite food - apple, favorite book - the Bible, favorite color - pink (no brainer), favorite activity - staying home with mommy (melt my heart), favorite toy - Dora, and favorite animal - giraffe.  It makes me so happy that her favority activity is staying home with mommy because that is my favorite activity too!

Their performance was about farm animals and Addison was a frog and Connor was a chicken!

They all walked across the stage and were given their little "diplomas."  After the program, there were cookies and lemonade and it was sweet seeing them all play and say goodbye!  Our experience with this pre-school has been wonderful and we look forward to 4 year old pre-school there too!
