We went to Blue Lake last week. It was the girl’s 4th time!  

It was a wonderful time and she was challenged by being in an advanced group, playing in orchestra (first time), and being invited to play on the recital.  Here are some highlights:

I really enjoy our time together!


We stay in a luxurious cabin (the girl loves to decorate and get organized)


We walk everywhere and enjoy our friends!


The girl was in orchestra for the first time.



She was encouraged by her teachers and was excited to be asked to play on the student recital Saturday night. I was very proud!

The girl really loved her ICE CREAM!!!

Late(ish) evening campfires

Getting filthy playing “Gaga Ball” (I think it’s like dodgeball)

We just had fun, fun, fun until someone crashed!!!

She’s come a long way since our first year at Blue Lake!

We can’t wait until next year!!!

Last day of first grade! This happened too fast.


The last day was so much fun!

The day started with an all-school assembly.  The girl was one of 6 first graders asked to tell the school a little bit of what they learned that year.  She explained what they learned in Math.  Very appropriate!!

There was a first grade picnic and game time:

The girl was certainly determined to win the tug of war! 

This game took a lot of cooperation – I love how the girl helps her friends!

 

The girl had an amazing teacher this year!!  We were so thankful!!!

After school, the girl demonstrated her favorite first grade achievement – crossing the monkey bars!!!

Then she walked home with her good friend!

It seems like just yesterday that she started first grade!  Remember this?
