This week we wrapped up school which included an in class presentation by the whole class. Gracie was a puppy (hence the doggie ears). It was an easy week with no exams, lots of play time, and lots of hugs goodbye to sweet teachers and friends I must admit I get a little sad to see the year go by and have to say goodbye to the teachers who invested so much into their lives to see them grow and develop. We are blessed.

 |
| The dynamic duo with Maggie! Her teachers tackled PreK for the first time and did a fabulous job! |
 |

We wrapped up school on Friday which was half day with lunch at Taco Mama with Addison and her mommy. Then of course Milk and Honey for a treat!
 |
| Ready for lunch. School is officially over! |
 |
| Addison and Maggie! |
 |
| a sweet treat! |
 |
| Pinch me, only two more years of lower school! |
As we were juggling the past few weeks activities we received a sweet email from Maggie’s teacher describing her. “ Maggie made me laugh yesterday afternoon--said very animatedly and with many gestures: "Mrs. Wieldraayer,! Today I go to cooking class, and tomorrow I will go through the carpool line. Does this make sense?!"
Swim team began this past week and both girls are on the team. Gracie is a pro after last summer and Maggie is learning quickly. I am so glad both girls enjoy the water and swimming
 |
| First practice |
 |
| Looking like a pro |
 |
| She's off! When she got to the other side she said "Mommy I my legs are tired but I just keep kicking. I am on swim team!" |
 |
| Listening to Coach Logan. |
When Jimmy got home and we packed we headed to the Blue Ridge Mountains for a fun weekend away with the Martin family! We have been counting down to this for several months now. Its a great way to start our summer. I described the weekend like this on Facebook “Nothing better than a family weekend away with no commitments other than to fully embrace the time and laugh as much as possible.”. And laugh we did. We had a great time together. We did a little shopping, eating, putt putt, and Tank Town USA!
 |
| Enjoying the ride to the mountains |
 |
| We made it...we are at ate top! The drive way looked steep. Jimmy was just teasing, we could drive up it. |
 |
| First night in town |
 |
| Playing around while Jimmy and Aunt Tammy figured out dinner |
 |
| Dinner!!!! It was so yummy! Grammy (and about half of the table) ordered fried chicken. It was delicious! |
 |
| Day 2 ready to shop and enjoy the town |
 |
| Papa getting snap! |
 |
| Oops! A flat tire (the big joke is the last trip we went on with Aunt Tammy was had to get snow chains due to snow and that was a disaster!) |
 |
| Yep, a little flat. |
 |
| Maggie went to get snacks! |
 |
| an afternoon nap sounded great! |
 |
| Maggie fell asleep while we drove to putt putt. She was gone! |
 |
| Bring it...the Martin family is very competitive! |
 |
| We all got into picking our balls out |
 |

 |
| G's first time |
 |

| We had to much fun playing together! |
 |
| This one slept the whole time! Grammy and I took turns snuggling her on the bench. |
 |
| Day 2 morning snuggles (and coffee made by Uncle Joey) |
 |
| We were ready for our day at Tank Town! |
 |
| These three are so sweet together! |
 |
| Checking it all out! |
 |
| Maggie was too young to ride (she had to be 7) but she had just as much fun as all of us! |
 |
| Girls are made to play in the dirt too....and play in the dirt we did! |
 |
| My girls |

 |
| Papa and the girls watching as Daddy dug in the dirt |
 |
| Yes more playing in the dirt. I love that dirty little bottom! |
 |
| What fun. Jimmy always has said for one day he would like to play in the dirk. So while he did not do it all day, he sure had fun while he did! |
 |
| My love! |
 |
| Papa surprised the girls and climbed in |
 |
| Daddy decided he was not going to miss out |
 |
| Oops, Maggie fell and scraped her eye pretty good |
 |

 |
| a Martin trip is never complete without a VERY competitive game of dominos. yes, we had boxes between to protect the view of our tiles! |
What a fabulous weekend together! We are looking forward to the next trip together!
