July 4th Part 2- FIREWORKS

We went to fireworks at the marina and loved camping out waiting for them to happen.  We all played games, ate dinner, and people watched.  Kurtis has been asking to see fireworks at the beach for about 3 years now, so finally we did as we said we would and it was so much fun.  We also went and saw the fireworks at a local college here, they put on a terrific show and it was inside an arena which was full of families and lots of vendors for us to walk around and see.  I think as a mom I enjoyed the local college better, but it was fun seeing fireworks on July 4th no matter what!! 

4th of July...Part 1

For 4th of July we started off at the Beach...which the children love, and so did Derick!!!  They built sand castles, swam in the ocean, played football, and ate a delicious lunch under our new beach tent!!!

Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!!!

Last Week of School

For Kurtis' last week of school he had his Kindergarten Culmination.  We had the theme "Oh The Places You Will Go..." and after the ceremony we had a family/friends picnic filled with Dr. Seuss trees, great entertainment, and yummy food!!  The kids had a wonderful time, and loved having the attention on them for the day!  Below are some great photos of the memories we made.  I also took some videos but they are too large to upload right now, but once I can figure it out I will upload them for you all to watch.  They had some pretty funny songs/dances that they did!!  We all loved it, and are proud of Kurtis and his accomplishment.  He received a certificate for 97% attendance, as well as high achievement in Science!
