Last Day of School!

Despite forty mile per hour wind gusts, we spent the day racing between home and the kids schools. Katie's "Fifth Grade Farewell" began at 9:00. We walked home from that event to hop in the car for balloon pick up and delivery to the middle school for a lunch-time pizza party.
Katie's classmates spent the last day of school swimming, playing games, and hanging out at the local pool during their end-of-elementary-school Beach Bash. Don and I picked up Erin a couple of hours early, and she managed to knock out her first Polish lesson. A wildly windy bike ride an hour later saw Evan home from his final day as a seventh grader just in time for Don and I to walk over to retrieve Zach and Kate from their party. We hit the pool with Ally for an hour before a pizza dinner. Evan was worn out, and he fell asleep at about 7:00. Kate's friend Madison came over to spend the night, and I drove the girls over to Dairy Queen for a late-night treat to celebrate the start of summer.
