12 JUNE - Hickory Hills Picnic














My friend, Reggie invited us to join her and some other families to Hickory Hills for a hike and a picnic. I opted out of the hike since my feet and back were not feeling up to par. We packed a lunch and headed up there for a day of fun. The weather was gorgeous and the kids loved being outside with their friends. We ate, the kids played, then we saw the animals that they had up there. There were North American Bison, turkeys, pheasants, some other birds and elk. Unfortunately my camera battery died, so I didn't get as many pictures of the kiddos with the animals. The elk came up and let the kids feed them some leaves and shrubbery they found along the fenceline. Their antlers were very soft and fuzzy and felt like velvet. We'll definitely have to go there again with Daddy sometime!!! :O)

EDEN'S LAST DAY OF KINDERGARTEN...



The Kindergarten teachers got together to put a program on for the kids' last day of school. They had songs to sing, a video made for each parent to take home as well as a "graduation" with certificates! They had a ball! This is one of their favorite songs they sang, "Tooty Ta". I'm sure you'll be able to see how much they enjoyed performing it!

After Eden's program, they went back to Mrs. Burk's room and had a class picnic.

Here is Jaren with his carrot cigar!

They were both GREAT and Eden loved going to class each day!

Mrs. Burk awarded each child some candy with an explanation of why she choose that candy for our children. Eden got a "3 Musketeers" candy bar because her, McKenzie and Sayde were always attached at the hip, this year as well as last year!!!
