Saturday adventures

It is so fun to come to the end of a school year, to reflect back, to see how you've grown and what's changed, and to marvel on how it seems like just yesterday that the students entered the door on the first day of school.

Much of the community turned out to celebrate. Afterward, my mom and I took the kiddos to the first-ever "Kidapalooza" in Mammoth Lakes. There were many cool booths and events: a petting zoo, a man making balloon animals, a hula-hoop contest, a fire truck. Jack sat briefly for a photo op...
