End of School Festivities

We have had a fun time with all the end of school activities for the kids. Here are the highlights.

Ben’s last fieldtrip was a swimming party at the Clearfield Aquatic Center. Nate went with him, but mostly just hung out while Ben played with his friends. It was easily Ben’s favorite fieldtrip of the year. He had a blast! (No pictures . . . Nate didn’t want to have to keep track of a camera at the pool.)

Nate and Emily went to the “Daddy and Me” fishing fieldtrip at the trout farm.

Here is Emily with her first (and quite possibly last) catch. She gave her fish to Grandma Reatha since “we don’t like fish with bones.” She’s right. We like the ones that come in perfect little rectangles in your grocer’s freezer.


Ben’s first grade program was called “One Big Happy Family.” He did a great job singing all of their cute songs.


It’s so cute when he tries not to smile. He just can’t help himself.


Today was Emily’s preschool graduation. She has had a really fun year with Miss Kim and is excited to start kindergarten in the fall.


Emily said her part perfectly!


Preschool graduation was at the same time as Abby’s afternoon nap. She tried to make the most of the gym floor.


Today was also Ben’s field day. He has become a huge basketball fan all of the sudden and was very excited about the basketball he got at the face painting booth.


Ben loves the Jazz by default, but he wishes they would win more often.


We celebrated tonight by going out to dinner. The kids got cool balloons from the “I work for tips” man.

I can't believe how old they are getting, it's so sad to me! They are so cute though, I just love them tons and those balloons are awesome, especially Ben's!
