Labor Weekend: KY Kingdom

It might be our new tradition - we headed to Louisville for the long weekend and went KY Kingdom for 2 days. I love it because it's close, cheap, and virtually no lines.

Ya'll were so anxious to go that we headed up on Friday, and they weren't even open on Friday. Instead we had an extra day in Louisville and found some spray grounds because it was really hot.

You worked up the courage to go on 1 thrill ride with Daddy and it was hot enough that we had a good time in the water park this year. We were there both days from opening till 5ish- phew!

Last Day of 3rd Grade

My quick re-caps with your teachers revealed -
- They loved having you as student.
- You genuinely love learning and don't place pressure on yourself to do well.
- You sometimes can't help your desire to over achieve. (Ms. Ryan shared a story where you just had write 20 facts and you said you had to write 25.)
- You seem very excited and were telling everyone that Ms. Zeppos is giving you (and only you) extra summer work. (2 book studies and a social studies research project.)
- You are friendly with everyone and can move easily from friend group to friend group.
- You steer clear of girl drama and don't take sides.
- You are mature, but still act like a 9 year old.
- All in all- you are doing well academically, socially, and mentally. :)
We're very proud!

Last night when asked to organize and clean out your back pack - you cried for like 15 minutes. You said - I wasn't helping you. Also you just felt like crying. Here we go...
