Final Day of School 2007

Thursday, June 14th, 2007

We’ve had a busy and fun schedule the last couple days of school, including rollerskating at Rollhaven, our potluck picnic today, and an afternoon of crazy games! We had no shortage of fun passing bananas over our heads, hopping with grapefruits between our knees, licking up whipped cream, sucking pudding through straws, throwing wet sponges and piling up shaving cream all over everybody!

It’s been a great year and everyone has worked very hard! Enjoy the summer! Below is a little movie to remember our year together:
