School's Out!!!!!

Cardon and Brinly had a surprise awaiting them when they got home from the last day of school today. It's been a countdown for the last few weeks--not only is SUMMER here but today is the day Uncle Mike, and Grandma and Grandpa VanOrman are coming. We had to have a PARTY to celebrate! A sign was made saying "SCHOOL'S OUT...... SUMMER'S IN!!!!"
All the necessary items were bought....chips, watermelon, popsicles, sidewalk chalk, bubbles and of course water guns.

As the kids rode up on their bikes they could see the sign awaiting them. Time to PARTY!

They broke through the sign and then...........

I soaked them with my water gun! Don't worry--they got me back.

I filled this little pool with water so that we could use it to refill our guns.... So the water fight began! The kids were laughing and soaking each other when out of no where came..........

Our neighbor Tyler. He's home from college for the summer and decided to get in on the action. He surprised us all from around the front of his house with a huge water gun ready to soak some little people!

Brinly was ready to fight back!

They immediately all ganged up on Tyler and completely soaked him. I couldn't stop laughing!

Tyler finally got Jace to go on his side by bribing him with an even cooler water gun.

What a fun beginning to summer!

Cardon got invited to a 4th grade water party at a friends house down the street after our little party was over. Nearly all of the 4th graders were there and he said it was the funnest party ever. He felt so grown up to be able to go and come back all by himself. I was actually excited for him---He is growing up!
The girls are ready for some fun in the sun...... just like their mom.

We sat outside in our soaking wet clothes and ate a summer lunch. I have a feeling that this is going to be the best summer ever!!!!!
