Celebration!!

Friday was the last day of homeschool for Ethan and Sam. It was a gloriously beautiful day, warm, sunny, breezy so we celebrated with a trip to the "wiber", as Annemarie calls it. The boys enjoyed catching some crayfish and "accidentally" falling in--Sammy was the most blatant offender! Just look at that smile! Annemarie got soaked and was a bit too brave about being in the river. She thought it was very funny to "sail" her tiny pink crocs down the river until one got away from her and brother Isaac had to save it. I hope he will always be her "hero". Phoebe, our labradoodle, was more doodle than lab!! She looked like she wanted to go in the water, but was too timid to take the plunge. Isaac and Ethan took it upon themselves to plunge her! She was unsure, but kept wagging her tail. College-girl Lexi was staying on shore trying not to get wet. After drying off, we took a trip to our favorite ice cream stand, Wade's Place, for a scoop or two. It was a great way to put a period (or exclamation point) at the end of our official school year.
