Thursday was the last day of school and we have started summer vacation! Anna Claire cried on the way home from school Thursday because she is going to miss her sweet teacher. When the vice principal put her in the car crying she said, "Anna Claire will be a teacher when she grows up. We're the only people who are sad to see the school year end."

Today we drove out to a local state park and played all morning. The girls were very surprised at the number of bugs in the great outdoors! We rented a paddle boat and the girls loved being on the lake, of course they weren't pedaling the boat:) Russ and I loved the warning on the boat that said, "Fast pedaling may cause tiredness in your legs."
