WOW! That is all I can say. My Baby Bear Jesse graduated 4th grade. This is always the bitterweet graduation (4th grade) in our family.... Kathryn Senor Elementary School has been the most wonderful school my boys have attended. I cannot explain to you how wonderful this school is! I was able to attend the annual "Rendevous" festival. This is where everything they learned throughout the year is acted out. Teepees are set up, complete with Native American tribe members who come to bring us song, tradition and words of encouragement...as well as great dancing! Storytellers and mountain men, horse painting and pottery, coal mining artifacts and Indian fry bread...and even a planetarium! And so much more! "KSE" is a school that cleary ebraces the love of learning....EVERY child leaves feeling loved.. and with a wonderful start to a wonderful life, filled with great adventures. I am so glad I have one more child who can go on to enjoy 5 years at this wonderful school. KSE has been a part of our lives for so long. It was hard to see Jesse leave, but know he got the BEST start for his new adventures! See Ya Soon, KSE! Cheers to the best teachers, principal and staff....Ever!!!!
Graduation behind us...the band played for "Operation Vacation"..... (Operation Vacation is a grassroots, nonprofit organization based in Glenwood Springs whose purpose is to reunite deserving soldiers with their families on free vacations in the Roaring Fork Valley and Grand County in Colorado and Dallas and Austin in Texas.) .....in the Glenwood Springs mall parking lot...They had a 4 o'clock slot....just in time for the monsoon of the season! After 2 songs they had to jump off the flatbed truck that was the stage, and into dry shelter while the equipment was protected from the rain...Once the storm passed and a slew of able body persons created a tarp tent over the stage, they were able to perform...and What A RESPONSE! The crowd loved them! It was great!
Now.....Please, God.....Can you make them stop growing? It is too fast! Seems like yesterday they were so tiny....
