End of school year celebration at Lost Pines!

Last year, on the last day of school, a group of Moms decided to take advantage of the cheap rates at a local resort called Lost Pines and celebrate the end of the year with a night away with the kids.  I begged Mark to watch Dex for me last year (he was only 3 months old) so I could take Jake and Maddie.  It ended up being 24 hours of pure bliss...hanging out with my Mama friends while all the kids ran around like crazy having the time of their lives.  It instantly became a "tradition" we wanted to carry on.  So, this year, off we went again right after school ended on Wednesday at noon -- I had the car all packed and ready to go when I picked them up.  Even despite a little rain, we had the best time just like last year.  These moms and their kiddos have become our community...one that I cherish so dearly!  Can't wait until next year!

Here's a quick side by side of Jake and Maddie on their first and last days of 2nd and 4th grade!  WOW!
