Summer break!!!

We have completed our 2009/2010 school year!!!
On Wednesday, we had piano lessons and then had 'library day'...a long, leisurely visit to the library to sprawl out and read, first inside with the a/c and comfy chairs (Abigail's choice) and then in their small outdoor courtyard (David's choice).
  On Thursday, our last day of school, we cleaned out our school desks and then visited a park, where the kids played on the playground...
 ...played 'imagination' (in this picture, they are being "Jacob" and "Anna")...
 ...played hide and seek...
 ...and we even discovered the train track that ran a stone's throw from the park is an active railroad track!
On Thursday night we had our annual celebration dinner at Benihana.  Our chef was great and the food was as amazing as ever!
 After dinner, the kids got their promotion certificates.
 David has been promoted to third grade!
Abigail has been promoted to first grade!
Congratulations to them for all of their hard work this year!!!

I notice the "100% complete" when I was on here yesterday and felt a pang of envy! ;-) (We have 2 more weeks to go.) I love the ideas of the promotion certificates!
