Playing catch up! Last days of Kindergarten.

I haven't posted in months, and I was looking back at old posts, and loved being remonded of all the fun stuff from months and years past, so I need to do better and keep up with this! So I going to have lots of posts coming.
                                            We thought we would surprise the kids and take them  to a day game at Petco park. Because it was a school day, we thought we would pick Rory up from school early, and not tell him what we were doing. So Micah went over to Midland, got Rory before lunch, and told him we had a surprise. I packed lunch and snacks, and we were ready to go. Rory got it in his head we were going somewhere like Disneyland or Knott's Berry farm. We kept saying "no, but somewhere really fun! You will like it!" he then said, "what about Legoland? Sea World? the zoo? Wild animal park? " NO, NO, and NO! We finally told him we were going to a Padres game, and the little booger said"that's not fun! You took me outta school to go to a baseball game?!!"  Well we told him to get his back back, he was going back to school, and just Sydney would go. And then he heard Dad say we were getting cotton candy. Rory decided he wanted to go after all. too bad they only lasted as long as the snacks. 5 innings. all well.

 Rory's school had a carnival for the end of the year. We bought $8 in tickets and stayed until they were used. About 30 minutes. Most of that time was walking around trying to figure out which games they wanted to play. But we had fun.


                                       The Kindergartners put on a show for a Volunteer luncheon I was invited to at school. They sang lots of cute songs. My favorite part was watching Rory sing of course!

We took Mema and Grandpa out to dinner at Red Lobster:

 The last couple of days of school Rory's class did lots of fun activities. They had a picnic at a nearby park, had games out on the filed, and a movie afternoon with different "theatres" to choose from, and snacks. I volunteered for everything, and loved watching all of the kids. They were so excited the whole time! Sydney got to go to the activities, too. She took off with a groupm of first grade girls each day and I hardly saw her. She was in her element!
