A Great Day

Today had to be one of my favorite days as a mom! Ava had her last day of kindergarten. The morning started with the Kindy 500 where the kids ran part of the track with a cardboard car on. It was a lot of fun and camradarie. Next was a picnic lunch, just me and Ava on a blanket with the entire SMG school community surrounding us. It was relaxing, sunny, warm and just a wonderful feeling being out there in that environment. Jake and I surprised Ava with a vanilla shake when we picked her up from school. It was neat for both of us to be there and a very special treat for daddy to be there the last day at pickup. And she loved the milkshake! Enough that she would only give me one sip!

Such a milestone today. I can't believe we have a first grader!
