Summer is Here

This past Sunday the tee-ball association had their annual outing to the Kane County Cougars game. It was a great time (the cougars won).



After the game Nikolas joined the kids (and adults) to run the bases.



Monday was Nik's last day of kindergarten. He is offically a 1st grader. All year long he kept telling me that he didn't like school (not enough playtime like preschool), but he is going to miss his teacher.



Mrs. S is a great teacher and I enjoyed helping in her classroom.

To celebrate the start of Summer vacation, we took a family outing to the Drive-In.


Nikolas was dancing with the speaker pole to pass the time until the sun went down. He loved his dance partner.



Nikolas stayed up for through both movies (until 1AM!!) but fell asleep about 3 minutes into the ride home.
