End of school year!

I still can't believe how fast this school year went by!

At the end of 4th grade, the big thing is that the kids do a county float and have a parade that the parents can come watch. Ashton's county was Beaver and he and I put his float together one night, then Lars and I went and watched his parade. He chose to drive his on his remote control car...

He also had a field trip that last week that I was asked to go last minute,

so I rode the bus with him and the rest of his 4th grade class over to the Golden Spike Historical site in Promontory. It was SO rainy that day on the way over and the school bus was leaking...

And Ashton was mad at me because almost every other kid on the bus had some sort of an electronic device, but I'd told him no when he asked me if he could bring his kindle. I really can't win most days!

In the end I think he was glad I came...

...and it made my day when he left his friends and brought his lunch over and ate it by me sitting on the ground :)

The field trip was actually really obnoxious...His teacher put me with all of the most obnoxious boys in the class. They wouldn't listen to a word I said and I really don't think they learned anything! I couldn't wait for the hike part to be over and I just kept thinking how in the world does his teacher deal with these kids every day?!

I was still glad I went though...I know it won't be long before he doesn't want me to.

It was also super kids day that day...

Gunnar was most excited about getting his face painted :)

The next day was the last day of school...

This was Gunnar's French teacher, Madame Abouo...She was really sweet and did a great job.

And Mrs. Miller who he went to the other half of the day...

Loved her!! I had gone in to his class this day to have lunch with him because he got to have "lunch with a teacher" for getting so many AR reading points. He got a subway meal :)

Ashton with his teacher, Mrs. McNeil...we really loved her too, she was great for Ashton and like I said, I totally admire her for doing such a great job with a huge class...
