Enjoying summer

It's no secret that moving into a new classroom takes a lot of work.  The kids have had to spend time at the school with me as I've been getting the classroom set up.  But it hasn't all been torturous for them.  They get treats every half hour (we keep track on the white board), and they get to watch movies and take their new lunch boxes to the school to enjoy lunch.



The kids really helped me a lot one day by putting together these rolling drawers.

Tyler hammering



Emily screwing the nobs on the drawers



Megan putting drawers in.



All done.



But, I haven't wanted the kids to feel like we didn't have any fun this summer, so I've tried to have us get out and enjoy some fun summer activities too.

I was reading in the shade of a tree and Tyler kept trying to sneak up on me. 



We've spent some time at Seven Peaks

Emily tried crossing the snake once and fell in head first so she hasn't been back on ( and I didn't get a picture of her on it.)

We spent one afternoon at a swimming pool.  Tyler jumped off the diving board over and over again.  (It was 13 feet deep there!)

We went to a puppet show at the library.  Megan was able to participate in the pre-show puppet show.



Enjoying the slip 'n' slide at our house.

We went to the 24th of July/Pioneer Days float preview party.  Our stake was in charge of a float this year.

Megan wanted a balloon creation (a unicorn).  Emily wanted a panda face paint and Tyler wanted a bat.



The kids wanted a picture by a king and queen.

And, I think I mentioned it in another post, some of my favorite memories was going with my mom to get her room ready each year (and even throughout the year). So don't feel too bad for them! ;)
