level up! school is out and the kids advance to the next level.
the daughter received her papers from middle school. next stop, Westlake.
she was overwhelmed with emotion (sarcasm). I drove her to school the very last time, asked her if she was sad. she thought a minute, looked back at me and said "not really". she is not prone to emotional outbursts. but, I understand she does write some powerful poetry.... according to her AP teacher and classmates.
we have an end of school party each year. we included a sack race this year. had kids ranging from 5-13 years of age participating.
there was an awards ceremony for the winners from the sack race.
First, second and third each received a viking hat.
we had prizes for everybody.
neon hats, arrow through the head and "80's style sunglasses". (I remember the 80's... partly, but I'm pretty sure we did not have these louvered glasses.... but the kids liked them)
and we had the usual group effort on singstar (karaoke). this group loves Eye of the Tiger by Survivor.
we got up the next morning and kicked off our summer with a trip to schlitterbahn
