Kristen's party!

Kristen hasn't had a whole lot of time to have fun with her friends this last year - just a few playdates here and there, so we thought it would be a great idea to have a "last day of school" party for her. As it turned out, it was! The first graders (now second graders) were so excited, they came barreling down the sidewalk from school - 12 lb backpacks and all! They had a blast jumping on the trampoline, playing baseball, eating pizza and making fruit kabobs, and then heading to Time Out Corner (which is a fun indoor miniature golf and arcade with black lights and flourescent carpet). They also enjoyed eyeing a plate of celery at lunch - but not touching it. They took turns peeking into the bowl of pimento cheese spread and screaming "ewww!" Oh well, I tried. I was actually surprised that they devoured every last bit of fruit. Maybe I should try celery kabobs next time :)
