Summer Time!

Holy Cow! What have we been doing for the last month & a half? I have no idea! We feel like we went back to Washington for our summer, because it has been so cool & rainy! I love it, but it makes it not feel like summer is really here. But I think that will all change soon!
Connor's 6th grade class (along w/ another class) wrote, composed, made the costumes, and the backdrops... they did everything for their operas! Connor's class was about the Egyptians. & he was a "grave robber" He made his costume by himself & it was fun to see him participate & sing. (he wishes he didn't, but he still has a wonderful singing voice!) He also graduated from 6th grade, and is moving on to Jr.High.
Kennedy is so excited to move on to 4th grade! & she had a lot of fun with the 3rd grade singing in the patriotic program w/ Pony Express. She sang a "solo" part on the song American Tears. It is a great song & she did a fantastic job! We are all proud of her! They also got to sing @ Pony express days, with Sen. Bob Bennett. (It was a really good thing Bill stayed home...he had some things for me to say to him, but I decided it would be best not to say those kind of things @ a family thing!)
then came pony express days & the girls were in the parade. I wish I could have gotten a picture of them before the parade started, but they danced their little hearts out(hula) and had a great time throwing out candy to everyone! speaking of candy, Clayton got SO much of it! We sat in this great spot @ the beginning of the parade & Connor didn't want any candy, so Clay got it all! We ended up leaving the parade w/ balloons, otter pops, t shirts, and a garbage bag full of candy. It was a lot of fun! I has to hide the candy & now I think I lost it! Maybe we will find it in time to pass it out for Halloween?
I will try to stay updated!
