Of school that is! Katry's elementary school must be on some over- achiever list- cause instead of doing the usual fun run (mile) for field day, they put on a whopping 5k. That's 3.1 miles! Yowza!
Katry has a great competitive soul and she could not let the opportunity pass her by. She entered the race and completed it in 28.56 minutes. Way to go Chach! She was the first fifth grader to finish it and thus took home the first place medal. Seth decided to join her about half way through the race. I thought he could be a good help to her and keep her going, but with his fresh legs he left her behind and waltzed through the finish line. Good job Seth
This is Mrs Cook. She was a great teacher and made Katry's first year in public school delightful. 
The boys made some paper boats. Kaleb was the winner in the contest. He blew his little heart out. It was nice for him to finally beat Seth in something.
Seth had his final soccer game this week. One of the parents commented to me that whenever Seth got the ball- he just felt relief as in- Oh good, Seth has the ball- he knows what to do with it. Seth is so much fun to watch- he is amazing.
Katry also had her final soccer game last week. I didn't get a team picture though, cause I was expecting her team to have their last game this week. It was cancelled. She is also amazing to watch. She is half the size of most of the girls she plays with and she just runs circles around them. Brig finished up his season as well. They won four of the five tournaments that they attended. It was fun to watch him play with other good players. Our little soccer fanatic family will be taking the summer off from soccer- well except for Seth who was asked to play on a team. I love soccer season- but it will be nice to take a little break from all the practice. Actually, Dad still has games all summer as well. Fun for us!
We invited Katry's class to our pool to swim for a field trip. That was a lot of fun.
These are the little girls that came up to Katry on the playground the first day of school and asked her if she would like to play. I get a little choked up every time I think about it. My mother's heart felt such relief that she had found friends on the first day.
Welcome Summer! 
Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass on a summer day listening to the murmur of water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is hardly a waste of time. ~John Lubbock
