The School Year Has Gone By Way to Fast

Well Gracie did it, she finished her first year of school!!! It is official, summer is here!!! I can't believe how fast this school year went by or how much Gracie has grown. She has learned so much this past year. She taught us about economics (what a buyer and a seller is), she taught us about gravity, and how the earth rotates and moves around the sun. She is reading books and writing sentences. She has turned into a social butterfly and has developed a love of learning and school. She had a great teacher, Mrs. Scott, and she made many great friends (some of which will be leaving in a couple of weeks). This is the downfall of army life. She was sad to say goodbye to her classroom A-3 and her teacher. But she is sure she will stop in and say hi to her next year. Anyways she is looking forward to first grade and has already told us " it is going to be a little bit harder we are going to have to do more reading and writing". But we are looking forward to a fun summer. I have to admit it is nice not having to get up at 6:30 every morning to get her on the bus at 7. We have already had a great summer and are looking forward to our trip to the mainland in a couple of weeks.
Gracie on her FIRST day of school. The above picture is of her on her LAST day. She has grown so much.
We got to spend an evening at the beach with daddy we had dinner and went for and evening swim. It was so nice to stay out a little later cause there was no school.
Of course I thought we could kick off the summer by washing our car. Well the kids had a different idea. They of course were so much help they got a good washing too.
We bought a summer pass to the water park here. We had so much fun. Gracie wore herself out and fell asleep at 6:30. I think we will be making many trips there this summer LOL!!!
