It is hard to believe that an entire school year has gone by. It seems like yesterday that Drew was starting his first day in Mrs. Thompson's & Mrs. Carmon's class. Drew has made lots of new friends this year and he enjoyed going to "school" everyday. To celebrate a wonderful year, the class got together for an end of year party at Veteran's Park. The kids had a great time playing and we had some great food too. The kids found the water fountains to be most interesting and since it was in the 90s they decided to pour water on each other. It was a hilarious.
The party was bittersweet, though, as some of Drew's friends won't be returning next year and some will be in other classrooms, so it was the last time they would all be together. BUT we are thankful for the past year and the wonderful things he has learned. We are also VERY happy that Drew will be returning to MGCS next year for the 4 year old Preschool.
We took a quick trip to Cliffs of the Neuse State Park in Seven Springs, NC for Father's Day. The park was really nice and we had a great time. There is a nice lake with a swimming beach and paddle boats. Drew had a blast running playing in the lake. There were some nice (short) hiking trails that took us right down to the river too. We had a picnic lunch and scouted out camping spots for a possible future trip. Drew said his favorite part of the day was playing down by the river.
