When Is Summer Over?

Since the day that school got out a week and a half ago, Bryson has been asking "When is summer over" or "when does kindergarten start?"   I guess he's already bored staying home with me and I'll have to make him a calendar to mark off the days until school starts.  But in the meantime, I decided I'm going to encourage him to like summer by doing a couple of activities every week.  This week, Bryson and I went on a 1.3 mile hike, attended summer reading programs at the library, and did the Build and Grow clinics at Home Depot and Lowe's.  Jarom and I also took him swimming at the rec center.  He enjoyed himself and also likes continuing reading and other learning activities with me, but he's so excited for kindergarten to start that he prays that he can "go to kindergarten soon."  But I figure that if we continue fun summer activities like we've done this week, it will make the days until school starts go a little faster.

Last day of preschool

Today Bryson had his last day of preschool.  Today he got the flower he planted last week with his teacher and a certificate for completing the year.  It's amazing how much he's learned and fun to see how he's grown in the course of the year.

Field Day

Bryson's ECE class had field day last Tuesday. He had a blast at all the events and won lots of ribbons. Bryson even won a few blue first place ribbons, one for the 50 meter dash. My school always had field day when I was a kid, but Jarom's didn't, so he especially thought it was a fun day for the kids. Jarom and I enjoyed being spectators and rooting on the kids and Jarom was able to use his new Go-Pro camera to get some cool action shots from the day's activities.
