Today was the last day of school. It is a happy day for all of us. John left the 3rd grade behind having read a bunch of books this year, including all 7 Harry Potter books. Bethany, a 6th grader, left Franklin Elementary for the last time. Yesterday, she was awarded the "Outstanding 6th grader award" from the principal. Dave and I went to the school to see her receive this award. (See picture below) Next year, Bethany will be heading off to Heritage Academy to join her sister LeeAnn and cousins Anne Durfee and Shannon Jackson. LeeAnn has enjoyed her year at Heritage Academy as a 9th grader. She is learning new skills and developing talents. She helped with the school musical this spring. She has been taking
Kenpo and recently earned her Purple belt.
This last month of school (MAY) has been hot, hot, with temperatures at 100 or better for 14 days in a row. But wouldn't you know it that today, the last day of school, it was only 87 degrees, overcast and raining at times. Bethany and the 6th grade had an all day swim party at a local pool. She said it was still fun. It was raining this evening though as several local High Schools held their graduation ceremonies outside in the rain. Here in Mesa, Arizona we only get rain a few days out of the year,(and we love it) but WHY did it have to rain today?

Congrats to Bethany! At least it wasn't cold. Last year at the party it was rainy and cold.
I didn't know LeeAnn took Kenpo. How fun.
