Last Kindergarten field trip for Parker

Let me just start by inserting my "mom cry" here.  I cannot...CANNOT believe that the school year has come to and end.  Kindergarten, what!?  When!?  How did this time end so soon!?

What an A-MAZING, blessed year. 

Enough of that, we'll save that post for the Kingergarten Graduation next week. ;)

Park had his last field trip ( I call this a play day ) at Franklin Park today.  Just a time for families, siblings, parents, friends to come and enjoy a last ho-rah at the park playing and eating lunch.

The first day of school this year was also spent at the park, so this was kind of "re-creating" the beginning of the year.  Same thing - play, read, sing, eat, play again.

Crazy how these kids have grown to love one another and their teacher, neither of whom they really knew on the first day of school.

No longer did Parker need me to follow him everywhere on the playground...he has his "dudes" (friends) now to do that with.  What a proud moment :)

Mason, Elijah, Ryan, Parker, and Cash --- these boys are his core group of friends

Colton enjoyed his "special" lunch with the class too

Parker asked for a lunchable---we don't normally do these, but since it was a special day, we let it go :)

I love his face in this picture, he was and is such a determined boy.  He couldn't do monkey bars at the beginning of this year, he is growing so fast.

COLTON!!!!   He mastered t he monkey bars for the FIRST TIME today!  PROUD MOM!!!

Parker and Mama.  I love him!!

Just had to put this in, he'll probably never get a lunchable again :)
