Alex's (with the hood) last time lining up as a kindergartener-
Paris and one of her BFFs, Lily... and they have the necklaces to prove it. Lily brought Paris this matching necklace (you have to zoom in) on the last day of school... then they had a sleepover at Lily's to celebrate the end of 2nd grade... life is good :)
Signing yearbooks after school.
First night of summer we went created our "bucket list"
First Monday with no school, Paris set up an elaborate Barbie spread-
Here is our new backyard water slide!
Paris and Jennifer enjoying snow cones in our backyard.
Meanwhile, the men, Alex, Mason and Patrick, convened on the upper patio.
Our family is in the middle of a four square OBSESSION. This was on the last day of school playing at Buena Vista... we also play family four square at home for sometimes hours each day. 
Throughout the summer I'm going to try to take Paris, Mason and Alex out on individual walks each morning before Paul leaves for work. Paris went first and chose the creek, where she showed me this awesome rope swing. Then we headed up the trail for a nice hike.
Alex, was the next morning and he lead the way to this cool bridge and then to a big rock pile. 
Mason wanted to climb to the top of the HUGE hill up in the open space behind our house. We walked for a total of 1.5 hours and made it to the top. Here we are almost there (Moca is in the background). Each of the kids were so adorable and excited to be on these walks alone...so I'm hoping to continue them throughout the summer!
I could not resist posting this birthday card that Mason made for a friend, Analise, whose b-day party he just went to. He worked on this thing for an hour and was very proud of it. Those are post it-notes glued on the bottom and hearts across the top.
While on the topic of art projects- here is another Mason masterpiece. Hard to tell, but he worked on this for days. It is a sponge bob empty lego box taped (this project alone went thru two whole tape rolls) to an empty carton. The large piece of tape going down is a "zipline" with an empty m&m tube taped to it. Their are many other treasure taped or otherwise attached. Enjoy :)

holy water park in susan's backyard. wish we could come over and slide! love the bff necklaces and the bucket list. i've been talking about ours but we haven't done it yet. looks like you are in the swing of things. (oh, and an 1.5 hr walk before paul goes to work? are you trying to make the rest of us feel like slackers?)
Jill, the secret that morning was that Paul left for work at 10am :) I left that detail out.
ok, that's better. :)
so fun seeing all the last day of school pics...Paris and her BFF are too darling. The summer list is inspiring....we need to do one for our staycation.. The morning walks are very impressive
