Water Day

Today was the annual Water Day at school.  Since siblings are invited to join, Jason has been looking forward to this all week!

Kara had a great time running around and having fun with all of her friends...

Jason had a bit of a rough start and then was hesitant to go and play.  But then in comes Ben to save Water Day.  Ben was such a good big brother, staying with Jason to make sure he was comfortable and having fun.

Fortunately Ben had a chance to hang out with some of his friends too.

Jason was excited to pack a lunch and be able sit and eat with all of the big kindergarten boys.  And since they are both slow eaters, they were around long enough to be joined by a bunch of 2nd grade girls!

I cannot believe this school year is already over. Ben had a great kindergarten year and wishes he could stay in kindergarten forever... Who can blame him?

Kara, Ben and I went to Clay's graduation this evening because they have "friends" in 8th grade and they wanted to see their friends graduate.  There was a slide show that featured all of the graduates throughout their 9 years together and we saw the same field trips and activities that our kids have have enjoyed... and when we were walking back to the car, Kara says, "That will be me up on that stage in six years" and in that  moment it felt like life just zipped by.

So we will continue to soak up all that we can from Water Days and every other ordinary day :)
