Last Day of School! - Part 1

Today was an exciting day for both boys, but one with extra meaning for Justin.  He graduated from 5th grade today.  The school really goes the extra mile to make the day special for the 5th graders.  I have been looking forward to it for weeks just anticipating what a fun and memorable time Justin would have today.  To start it all off, Justin and his classmates were surprised to see their dads dressed up at the school serving them a special last-day-of-school breakfast.

After breakfast, a police vehicle escorted the entire 5th grade as they walked through the neighborhood over to Mitchell Park for a fun morning of minute-to-win-it activities.  I loved helping with the games and it was so fun to have the party right there by our house.  The kids had a great time.  Even when the rain forced a pizza lunch into one of our neighbor's (Steven's house) living room.  A fire truck led the way for the kids to walk back to the school for more festivities.  It was such a great day.  I loved watching Justin have fun with his friends.
