End of year events

The end of year was busy with concerts, retails, graduation and all the things, but the kitties were just doing their thing.  Girls couldn't resist capturing the heart shaped tails.

Lily went with Annie to Brooke and Libby's dance recitals and enjoyed DQ afterwards.

On Wednesday night Mack, Sophia, Kate and I went to Lily's band concert.  You can't really see her but we had fun hearing her bang away on her mallets and drums.  She has really enjoyed percussion this year and is looking forward to doing it again in 7th grade.

I got allergy tested before the kids were done with school - apparently my body and Idaho aren't really friends.

Greg and I took the girls to Tucanos to celebrate the years end.  They had never been before and I was so impressed with how brave they all were.  They tried a lot of different food.  In order to get dessert Greg challenged them to try the chicken heart - all three of them did it - see Lily's face below 😂.

It was fun to watch Kate and Emily sing together of their last concert of the year, and Kate was excited with the gift basket they gave all the seniors.

My little girl all finished with her first year of middle school and learning to braid her own hair.😢

Middleton tried to pass another bond for an elementary school - I put in several hours gathering endorsements, knocking doors, waving signs and making calls - it failed again.  But the girls and I did make it into the news.  Thanks girls for sacrificing an hour to try and help our community.  

On Memorial Day we got up early and went for a hike.  Unfortunately, Emmy was feeling sick so she stayed home but Kate, Lily, Greg and I enjoyed a beautiful hike up by Bogus.  It was a great way to get moving and start out the holiday.

Then summer really began with Lily spending the day with Violet in Boise, just the beginning of Lily's endless summer of friends.

With Emily and Kate working she is getting a lot more friend time!
