Summer, here we GO!

We wrapped up the end of the school with Awards Day. Collins got the Spanish award, Reading Counts, Character Trait of Respectfulness, and the Principal's Honor Roll. Mary Blake received a Duke Tip award, all A's and B's, Reading Counts Millionaire Club, and the Character Trait of Creativity. Then Mary Blake had a 6th grade promotion ceremony. We partied on by having Trinity, Sara Beth, and Kasey to spend teh night. Poor Mary Blake ended up having an awful allergic reaction to poison ivy. When still had a great time, yesterday morning, she woke up with her eye almost swollen shut. We sadly wrapped up the party and I took her to the doctor. Poor girl is now on steroids for 5 days.
We also got a new water slide. I convinced Brad that it would make these long summer days easier! We shall see.
Today we started off by sending Brad and Andy to Jackson to visit JJ and Pops. I took Collins to HOT baseball practice where Griffin charmed his way into trading bikes with Lucy (friend at the ballpark). Then we continued on with Ben and Luke coming to play. SUMMER, here we go!!
