Black Bob Bay pool

We had a great idea to check out a pool we have never been to before right by our house.  We got to the pool, waited in a long long to pay, found a chair and right when we grabbed an inner tube to walk in the lazy river, the lifeguards blew their whistle and the shut down the pool due to a thunderstorm coming in!!!

Bummer!  We had to get a raincheck pass for another day!  It looks like an awesome pool with water slides, lazy river and Kona shaved ice!!!

Here are pictures of us after the pool was closed....along with everyone exiting!!

Dance Recital!!!

This year marked my 3rd official dance recital at Denise's Dance Academy!  This year I did hip hop and jazz for the first time and loved it!  My jazz dance was "Girls just wanna have fun" and hip hop was a really cool mix called "Candyland"!

I had so much fun this year that I can't wait for another year next year!  I've decided to stay in rec classes as I am not ready to commit to 3 dance classes per week.  I plan to take hip hop and jazz again!!

Last day of school fun!

This morning Addi, miss Jennifer, mom and I walked to school!  We had a half day today and the morning was filled with all sorts of fun stuff!  We had free Friday, a spirit assembly and then got our yearbooks and had the rest of the morning to do yearbook signings!! So awesome!

Mom and Miss Jennifer picked us up from school and we went to Chick fil a for lunch!!  What a fun way to kick off summer!!

By the way...I'm a 3rd grader!!!

Last day of school!!

Ff

Today was my official last day of second grade!  I am wearing the same outfit I did on my first day of school!  I'll have to post a side by side picture to show how much I grew this year!!

I loved 2nd grade!  I loved my teacher, Mrs. Maher, met really good friends in my class (especially Lily and Arden), and learned a ton!  This year I learned to read like a pro, learned some really challenging math, can spell really well and even grew my Spanish vocabulary!

I loved 2nd grade and can't wait for a super fun summer!!

 

 

Love,

Kate
