Schools Out For Summer

My K5 graduate

The shallow endless pool!

He even went to the lounge chair to take the pool toys?

When I taught school, I would listen to that rock song all the way home on the last day of school!!!! This is probably the first year I haven't panicked that summer is here and I have all three kids here with me ALL DAY EVERY DAY! I think the 2 hour round trip commute through stressful traffic has made me long for lazy stay-in-your-pj's mornings! I know my suburban is sitting in the garage with its tongue hanging out thankful we are done for a while! I am sad that Will is moving up to first grade, which means next year I will have a full-time student..yikes! To celebrate the beginning of summer, I surprised the kiddos with a trip to the Jellystone Park in Pelahatchie (which is 10 minutes from our house).  We have tried to go 2 times before but if the campground is full they don't hand out day passes.  Thankfully the campground was not full on this third try and we got in!!  They have a great splash/water slide play area and then a shallow pool area.  The kids had so much fun and I actually was able to enjoy it also! I could sit in one area and keep my eye on everyone! Next time I will know to bring Ben plenty of pool toys - every time I looked up he was "playing" with some kids goggles, pool ring, pool toy, etc...!  He wouldn't even ask, he would just start playing with it! Thankfully, the kids at the pool were nice enough to share with him! We will be going back soon! We have the whole summer!!!!!!
