Wrapping up the school year...

The last couple weeks of school are filled with field trips, picnics, field days, etc.  Just counting down the days until summer vacation!
Luke's class went on a field trip to the New Orleans Zoo and the kids loved it!

How could I pass up a chance to spend 10 hours with a bunch of 3rd graders?
Love this 3rd grader the very most!!!

Luke and Brooks were trying to soak each other with the jumping fountains.

We were all mesmerized watching the orangutangs.   I could have spent the whole day at this exhibit because the orangutangs were so active and funny and daring.  But, the kids wanted to see the WHOLE zoo. 


Mrs. Howell with Luke and some of his buddies.  

The girls lost a tooth on the same day!!
That poor tooth fairy is going to be broke!

Family tradition...blueberry picking!  

 We had A LOT, more than we realized, until we got them home and laid them out on the counter.
  Holy cow...A LOT!!!
We froze about 20 cups, ate our weight in blueberries and still had enough to make blueberry pie, blueberry lemon bread, blueberry cobbler and blueberry pancakes.  

Last day of school on the bikes!!!
The kids had a 60% day the last day of school so we celebrated by taking the kids and their friends to Horn Island on the boat.  We had a great day swimming, tubing, playing and ended the night by grilling out on the island.  Welcome Summer Vacation!!!!!
