Ashlyn - Last Day of School

   I can not believe Ashlyn's first grade year is already over.  It flew by with such a quickness!  I can't believe she is going to be a second grader next year.  Everything is going by way too quickly!  We are all very excited to have her home for the summer.  We miss her while she's at school.  Dawson gets so bored without her here to play with.  We have lots of fun things planned for this summer.
      This year, Ashlyn's school did things a little differently for the last day.  They had their field day on the last day of school.  I think this was genius because the last day of school is always such a wash.  You really can't do anything, so what a great idea to do field day that day.
     Joey volunteered to help out and lead Ashlyn and a group of her classmates around the different stations.  They have so many different neat activities for the kids to do.  It really is such a fun day.  I stopped by for a little bit with Gracie and Dawson and we had fun watching Ashlyn in action.  Ashlyn had an absolute blast with her friends.  Joey picked her up from school and they stayed and played at the park for hours after school.  Since it was her last day, we even let her pick what she wanted for dinner.  McDonald's it was.
   

Walking the balance rope

This is some ball pit that the school recently purchased that the kids just love playing in.  

Ashlyn getting her face painted.  She chose a tiger which is the school mascot.  

The kids had so much fun with this giant soccer ball.  

Dawson got to join in for the parachute.  

Gracie spinning around.  

These always look like so much fun to me.  

Look at that girl jump!

Friendly game of Tug-O War

I'm thinking she was playing a version of baseball here.  

Very bummed that her day of fun was over.  

Ashlyn and her best friend, Sofie, clearly glad to be second graders.
