field day and school barbeque

Not quite the last day of school, but almost. Starts with a BBQ that the principal runs. Flips every burger himself. Then off to the 6th grade vs. staff softball game, which the staff always wins. Then a fun-filled field day complete with a free snow cone from the PTA. And let me tell you, that is the longest line you'll ever see. Now, on to summer!

Guemes Island

When Gramma and Papa came to visit, we took the 5 minute ferry ride over to Guemes. Had a treat at Anderson's General Store and then played on the driftwood and skipped stones. Earlier that morning we had already feasted on huge cinnamon rolls at the Farmer's Market. Then later that evening, we got a babysitter and took Gramma and Papa to Anthony's for a lovely happy hour on the waterfront.

Momma's taking us to the zoo tomorrow

Actually, it was a first grade field trip to Woodland Park Zoo in Seattle. I was lucky enough to chaperone the 3 smartest and most well-behaved gentlemen on the trip... rather from any school there. We spent a wonderful day running from exhibit to exhibit, thankful for no rain.
