The first part of June was the winding down of school (if though these activities do not feel like winding down but never ending!!!!)

Henry did Moolahland (were he built a store and sold items).  His store was called. . . Tackle your Bait.  He sold fishing gear.  How they figure out the price of each item, I am not sure other then they had to use long multiplication.  He won 2nd place (how he won second place, you would have to ask him.  He has explained it to me a couple of times and I still haven't figured it out.  4th Grade assignments are to hard for me.)  Way to go!!!!  I was able to go buy things at Moolahland and was able to buy running shoes, canoe, blown glass, candy, fancy car and many other things.  It was fun to see all the different stores.

 All the kids were able to do the kid's marathon.  They tracked their miles and the food they ate for two months.  I am very, very glad they are done with tracking everything.  Thomas was in the top 10 and Henry came in about top 30.  Lizzy had a great time running with her Dad. 

Lizzy was so excited to graduate from preschool and finally be able to go to Elementary school.  She sang a couple of songs, walk over the bridge, and had pizza and ice cream for lunch.  Lizzy had a wonderful year with teacher Lezzlee.  Lizzy has really, really missed teacher Lezzlee for the pass couple of months but teacher Ruth stepped in and worked with the kids.   

 This year we had the end-of-the-school-year-party a week earlier.  The boys had a wonderful time hanging with their friends.  They didn't invite as many friends this year (and only boys!!!!!)

 They shot of pop bottle rockets over and over and over and over and over.  They also went out on the street and did pop-its.  They thought they pop them all and then a truck went down the street.  Oops!!!

 The only girls at the party. 

 Here are some of the boys at the party.  They are excited to show me Thomas is covered with Caterpillar guts all over him.  I guess they put a bunch in the bottle and let it launch.  The caterpillars didn't survive. 

 Oh-yeah!!!!

 The next day I took my Webelo's on their last den meeting of the year.  We hiked up to Marymere Falls.  We learned how to hug trees from Malachi.  He would run up to the trees and jump on.  It was pretty cool to see, so we have monkey see, monkey do.  All the Webelos were jumping on trees and trying to hug them. 

Finally, the last day of school.  Maggie is so excited to know her pack is going to be home all summer long. 

 Love this picture how they are all a head taller then their younger sibling. 

 Henry got super-citizen for June.  Way to go Henry.  He really is one of the most thoughtful, nice people around.  He gets it almost every year and rightly deserves it. 

Henry with one of his good friends---Israel. 
Thomas also got mention during the assembly that he was the third place in the school for AR points.  He worked really hard to get it.  He had something like 285 points.

Summer has started now.  There has been no schedule activities all week (expect for doctor, ortho, hair cuts etc.)  It has been really nice to hang out at home and sleep in (kids didn't get up until 9am this morning!!!!!)  Henry and I have played tennis two times, we have gone to the kid park, played with friends, dog park, have mole traps in our yard again, finish my scrapbooks for the school year---last year not this year.
