I know, I know, I'm a couple of weeks behind. But I am trying to catch up...... Friday May 29th was Makayla's last day of kindergarten. And I have to say, I was a little sad about that. I was all excited and eager for her to start, but now that it's over, I am feeling a little unsure about this growing up thing. She's on to full days of school, playing on the "big kid" play ground, and homework every night. I know everyone says it, but man how time flies......
On her last day of school, all the kindergarten classes walked to the park for a pizza party and playground fun!! I was able to stop by with Gavin, who wanted no part of me, but instead ran around with Makayla's classmates. I guess he thinks he's ready for kindergarten.
Makayla and her two best friends from class, Haley and Isabella.
Makayla had fun putting the "treats" we had made for her friends into their cubby's.
It's official. Makayla is a kindergarten graduate, diploma and all! Unfortunately they did not have any type of ceremony, I remember my kinder graduation so well. I guess I'll have to wait a few more years for that.
I am so happy with the school Makayla is attending. I know she will have a great time there as a first grader, even though everyday she tells me how she wishes she was still in kindergarten. (no worries, she did the same thing this year about preschool)

So, out on the Delta there is this huge, what used to be a ferry, all rusted and busted up. I like to refer to it as the "ghost ship". It is kind of creepy, with broken glass windows and plastic curtains blowing in the air. 
Now, a boys life just wouldn't be complete without exploring every floating hunk of junk they came across out on the water. So, yes, with shoes held high above their heads, Jason and his friend Kurt swam over and took a look inside. I only hoped everyone was up to date on their tetanus shots.
They look pretty tiny up on top of that boat.... told you it was huge!
After all the "fun", we headed to Garlic Brothers for dinner... yum!! Another favorite tradition! Oh, and just a warning to all of you out there in blogger land.... this is sure to be the first of many boating blog entries this summer. Hey, it's what we do.
I can't say it enough, but I loved Makayla's kindergarten teacher Mrs. Roberts. She was so great, and Makayla is very sad she won't be with her next year. As a thank you gift for helping out in the classroom this year she had all the kids draw a self portrait with their name and had a notepad made. It is so cute I don't even want to use it!! I love seeing all the little names and how they think they look. What a sweet gift idea, and thank you!
