The Last Day 2013

June 6, 2013/Family

Yesterday was the last day of school. I kept thinking it was Friday all day long. Then I’d remember it was just the last day of school and not the last day of the week.

Ryan and I had a fun day. First we went to the dentist to get my teeth cleaned. He enjoyed climbing on and off my lap during my cleaning and asking lots of questions. When the dentist came to check my teeth, he let Ryan raise and lower my chair. Boy, you would’ve thought he’d given him the moon!

After having my gums and teeth scraped, we headed into the city to have lunch with daddy. The weather was perfect as we pulled up to Market Square. There was a band playing and some different tents set up. Ryan played corn hole (and won a candy bar) while we were waiting for Henry to walk over from his office.

When Henry arrived, I got so caught up in where we were going to eat I forgot to take a picture of the three of us. After lunch, we came home and helped fill water balloons for the kick-off of summer. My neighbor pelts her kids with water balloons every last day of school. Last year was our first year in this neighborhood and we joined her. Looks like it will be an annual event.
