Last week of school

The last week of school was tons of fun for Kimee and me. I didn't take pictures, but I wanted to remember these things we were able to do, a lot of together. Next year, we will still see each other a lot, but not as much since we won't be in the same grade.

On Monday, we had an awards assembly where Kimberly earned an award from her teacher for being an Amazing Writer.

On Tuesday, our school got to go to the local pool as a reward for the Principal's Reading Challenge. Kimberly was one of the top 10 readers in first grade, so she won the privilege of going on the FlowRider. She only did it once, but that was pretty cool. She didn't want to do it again. We went down the big slide once. She screamed and didn't want to go down, but I just grabbed her, put her on my lap and down we went. We had been waiting in line, freezing in the wind, for about 10 minutes. I wasn't about to just walk back down the stairs. I think she actually liked it, but she wouldn't say so because she was mad at me. We spent most of our time in the lazy river, and visited all the little pools for a short time in between.

On Wednesday, we had field day. Kimee and I ran a mini marathon together. She was mad that she didn't win. I explained you can't walk half the time if you want to win. I thought it was fun. We played games, after lunch watched a movie, and then the school had a magic show assembly. The magician was awesome and super entertaining.

On Thursday, we had the school dance festival. The first grade did the "Barnyard Boogie", so here is a picture of Kimee and me dressed up. It was fun.

Friday was the last day of school. Kimee was really sad to say goodbye to her teacher, Mrs. Rogers. She has really loved her as a teacher. I tried to explain to her that she will still get to see her a lot next year. It's hard for Kimee to imagine liking another teacher. The last day of school was exciting too, because after school, we were driving to St. George for a fun weekend vacation. More about that in another post!
