Caroline graduated from pre-school and the Gymnation Bright Stars program on Friday, June 19th. It was such a fun night. The school and the kids did a wonderful job and everyone had so much fun! It was sad to say good bye but exciting to say, "hello" to summer and the future with Kindergarten. Caroline has come a long way since her first shadow of the school back in June '13! When it was all said and done, she was actually in three programs in two years. She was a Frog, then a Monkey this year and finished off as a Bright Star in the Begindergarten program. We are so proud of her and the little lady she is becoming. She put on a wonderful show for graduation, showing her dancing and singing skills, her theatrics, and her gymnastics skills. She had so much fun out there! Afterwards, we went back to the classroom for cake and a bittersweet goodbye to her friends (most are going to another elementary school) and her teachers. Thankfully, we'll see a few this summer when she does a few days of camp and we'll be back in the fall for gymnastics. Afterwards, we went home for a little bit more cake, some presents, and after George went to bed Alan, Caroline, and I went through her wonderful binder with all of her work that Coach Heather put together. When she woke up the next morning I found her on the couch quietly going through it again :) Then, we went through her large portfolio of her larger artwork!
These plates were made for the annual Mother's Day tea.
These are so adorable with their thumbprints
and I am glad they had them out so
I could take a picture of them.
The one above is when Caroline was a frog and
the one below is from this year as a Bright Star.
Ready for the show!
Watch my girl sing and dance her heart out :)
Love her!

Caroline's last day of school was also Father's Day Breakfast. Alan got to go to school with her in the morning and then head to work right after. They had a great time together going to school, eating breakfast, enjoying some songs, and seeing the classroom and the kids great artwork.
Thursday night we headed to the SeaDogs game that was hosted by Trane. This is the second year they've hosted and it's been a lot of fun. They have it set up in the picnic area so the kids can walk around and eat and watch the game and mostly run back and forth between parents. We headed out sometime around the 7th inning since we had lots of school activities the next day. Too bad since there were fireworks, but there will be other times!
Our last week of school was a busy one! We had lots of projects to finish up for gifts for our teachers, father's day, and to finish Caroline's graduation outfit. Alan was also in a class so he came home very late on Wednesday night and then Trane hosted a Seadogs game on Thursday night. Friday was Caroline's last day of school, Father's Day Brunch, and then graduation! Phew !

Coach Heather took the class to Dairy Queen for a end of
year treat. This was definitely special for the kids!
