Last Day of School!

It is so hard to believe but we now have a third grader and a first grader in the Morin household!!! 

Luke had a great year, having our beloved Mrs. Slater for a 2nd year for his 1/2 split class. Elle also had a fantastic year having Mrs. Zurawski for kindergarten! Luke really excelled in his writing this year and Ellie, holy moly, grew leaps in bounds in her reading, writing, and word study. 

Ellie's favorite books in kindergarten were The Berenstein Bears (a family all-time fave) and any princess book! Luke's favorite books from 2nd grade were the A-Z Mystery series and Ballpark Mysteries series.

My school was out a week before McGregor so I was able to partake in both kids last day of school parties!! 

Luke's party was on one side of the school next to the outdoor classroom where Ellie's kindergarten celebration was way across campus at the lower el playground. Drew had it pretty easy peasy in the stroller ride but we hiked the trek back and forth quite a few times. All the hot, sweaty, and popsicle stick was worth it though. :)

Elle with some classmate buddies...

And with her best bud, Emily!

Back to Luke's party for water balloon toss and "keep the yard clean" of the balls game.

Another great year as a McGregor Cougar!!

WAHOO!!!! School is finally out and Hellloooo summer vaca! After school our first stop, a bike ride to the neighbors house for a kick off to summer par-tay!! Nothing says summer like a water slide, pizza, water balloon fight, mini jeep rides, water guns, friends, silly string wars, and of course astronaut helmets!!

Afterwards I put on Moana, and bam, Drew was fast asleep on the couch. Not long after and Ben got home from work and joined in on the napping festivities. :)

After everyone woke up and ate we were all off to the pool for a nighttime swim! For our Christmas gifts and birthday presents this year, Uncle Tom and Aunt Cathy gifted our family with a season pass to the Troy Aquatics Center! It is such a great gift and one that we have already used many times this summer.

Thank you Uncle Tom and Aunt Cathy!!
