Summer Vacation!!!

Summer vacation has officially begun!  The last day of school was on Tuesday and the kiddos met their teachers for next fall.  The kiddos had a great first few days off filled with picnics, playgrounds, a walk at Labrador, water park fun, and a weekend with family!!!

Adam was at the house on Monday (kids were at school) and he heard a big BOOM that shook the house!!  Turned out that a tractor trailer caught fire on US 20 on the hill near our house!  Adam took this picture of the smoke!


Monday night lacrosse practice :)


Ayson is #6 - the orange undershirt and yellow shoes


Tuesday was the LAST day of school for Ayson and Addie!


To celebrate the end of the school year, Mumma told the kiddos that she would treat them to dinner...sigh...they chose McDonalds (no more Happy meals though!)
Ayson eating his first Big Mac!


Mmm, chocolate shakes too!


Look, Addie lost her other wiggly tooth - yay!!!




Adam was at Grandma Collene's house taking care of a few chores.  While out on the four wheeler, this little fawn came prancing right up to ADam!  Too cute!!!!











Ayson practicing to drive the lawn mower :)


Ahh!!!!


On Thursday, Adam took the kiddos to the park in Tully and had a picnic lunch


Great smile, Dolly!








Thursday night bike ride in the orchard with Ayson




On Friday night after dinner, we went to Labrador Unique Area
Tinker Falls - walking in the creek




Playing in the water - Best Night Ever :)






And then we made our way to the boardwalk


Wait for it...


There's Addie's smile!


On Saturday, we went to the water park!  We met Grandma Collene and Uncle Dan and cousin Curran there for a day of fun (Auntie Julie and cousin Kaela arrived in the afternoon).
Picnic lunch


Afterwards, we hung out at Auntie and Uncle's house...

Hello Summer!

We had a fabulously fun week with all sorts of school activities, a lacrosse game, birthday party, sleeping outside, and a going away party for friends.  We hope everyone is enjoying the gorgeous weather :)

Waiting for geese family to cross the road!



Tuesday was Olympics at the elementary school!  Ayson's team was Team Brazil and Addie's was Team France

PULL!!!!




After the Olympics, Ayson's teacher, Mrs Kolbeck, gave out her class awards


Ayson received "Creative Problem Solver Award" since he likes to try and figure out the math BEFORE Mrs Kolbeck gives instructions/lesson.


Picnic lunch!


Addie showing off her new skills!








Ayson and his crew did not want to sit with their parents





Hi Addie!


Great job!


For the alphabet countdown in Ayson's class, Wednesday was "volunteer day" and the third graders helped the first graders with computer programming on Scratch Jr!  The third graders did an excellent job in helping the little ones:)



Since it was NOT raining, we road our bikes in the orchard Wednesday evening-first time for Addie riding her new bike on a gravel road!


Looking for minnows and crayfish in the creek


Addie FINALLY lost a tooth that had been hanging on by a thread for months!  Yay!!!


Luckily the rain held off on Thursday evening for Ayson's lacrosse game!


Friday was Grade Colors wars - Orange for Third grade and red for First grade
Addie's class also had a classroom camp out


Mrs Kolbeck "handing off" her third graders to FOURTH grade!

Too cute!




Gorgeous evening!!!
