Each of the Clausen kids had a fun way to mark the end of this school year. For the littlest Clausen, it was a big reading of her favorite piece of writing at Room 3's special Author's Party. (Her selection was called "All About Dance." She was also thrilled that she got to go first.)
She was bursting with pride and fortunately she had some solid family support there to hear every word and celebrate afterward.
Clausen kid #2 had a fun Bunco & Breakfast party on the last day of school. When I stopped in to say hi, he told me that he was so disappointed because he had NEVER ONCE won a round, either during practice the day before or during the party itself. According to him, he stunk at the game. (A game of complete chance, if you don't know that already.)
And then he got a bunco!! His smile killed me. :)
And later that day, the biggest Clausen kid proved -- as he has since second grade -- that there's no need to remove your fedora for sports. Even water sports.
He also looked darn cute with his buddies. :) These guys are on to 5th grade in the fall!
And there was no rest for the weary. Despite it being the first day of summer vacation, we were off the next day to HOT, HOT, HOT Visalia for three baseball games in 109-degree heat. The car thermometer actually read 118 when we started it up after game three, but it settled down to 109. Sheesh!
Here are a few favorite shots from the day. I'm shocked that my camera didn't malfunction or start to melt. I sure did...
Fortunately, we're done with trips to the valley for this season. Our remaining baseball games and tournaments are local. Thank goodness!
