Last Day of School and Valley Fair

Last day of school! It comes with mixed emotions. Lucy has been feeling sad lately, because now she has a small group of friends and is worried she'll lose touch with them. I feel sad too, both for her and all the kids. We will miss the school. But at the same time, I still feel we're making the right choice and feel much peace in our decision.

Max decided to go to school for a field trip to Valley Fair! I hope that the fact that he made that decision to be "social" and join his classmates for a day was noticed by his teachers (who were very doubtful that he should give up his social skills class.) Ok, I will admit, he didn't join his classmates just to be with them, he joined them because they were going to Valley Fair.

Still, he had fun! His teacher was nice enough to send me some pictures of him. He decided not to go on any roller coasters but he had fun on the spinning rides. And he was very excited that he got to drive the old automobiles. (They had those when I was a kid!)

They couldn't have gone on a nicer day! Sunny and seventy's!

We have a tradition of going out for ice cream on the last day of school, and out for pizza for the first day of school. We like to celebrate both the beginning and end of school, because school is good and important, but summer is a welcome break!
