Last Day of School!!!

Yesterday was James's last day of 2nd grade.  Cortney and I decided to surprise her son, Nicolas, and James when they walked off the school bus.  We filled about 250 water balloons and several water guns and waited...

The sign read "Happy last day of 2nd grade!
These are your Water Balloons!  We are armed
with Water Guns!  Catch us if you can!"

It took a LONG time to fill all these balloons!

Classic.

 After the water balloon fight, we took all the kids to Gillis Hill Farm for their homemade ice cream!

It's been on my local "to do"
list since we moved in last year.

The farm is much bigger
than it looks from the road and
is literally only 1/4 of a mile from the house.

Rocking and eating...

Miss Cortney stealing a bite!

Henry and his chocolate cone...

"All gone!"

Checking out the farm animals...

Walking down the path to check out more animals...

Feeding and petting the goats...

But what happened next was the most fun we'd all had in awhile...

It started to MONSOON!!!!

 The kids had an absolute blast running and playing in the summer rain...

It was a "last day" we'll all remember forever!
