No more pencils, no more books

Thursday was Alex and McKay's last day of school.  (It's not actually a day, it's just an hour and a half.)  It was also their last day of Junior High.  They'll be moving on to high school next year, and they will be Orem Tigers.  It's a nice brand new building, and I think they will like it there

Yesterday was Abby's last day of school, and it didn't end a day too soon.  Her school has all four years of high school, so she'll just be moving on to be a sophomore at her same school.  She felt cheated that many schools send their ninth graders to Lagoon during the last week of school, but her school didn't.  They'd rather have the kids learn stuff, I guess.

To mark the first evening of summer vacation we played a couple games of croquet in the yard.  There's nothing better than a little croquet on a pleasant summer evening.  I had to remark that we were all playing much too nicely; not like the battles I've had with my brothers in the past.  We also played a game of Koob.  It was girls against boys, and Allison and Abby beat McKay, Alex, and me.

Happy summer vacation, everyone!
