May was a full and busy month crammed with end of the school year activities, birthdays, celebrations, the beginning of baseball season, and more rain than could possibly be good for anyone. There were track meets and plays and our trip to Chicago, but here are a few glimpses of the rest of our busy May.
We celebrated Grandpa turning 70 with a fun family dinner.
I enjoyed a long conversational lunch in Springfield catching up with my college friends.
Briggs got to go on a class fieldtrip to Pizza Hut. Since I was working, Uma joined him for some fieldtrip fun.
Apparently Briggs and his friend Dava held hands almost the entire time.
The girls had all kinds of fun activities like the 3rd and 4th grade track meet and petting zoo, movie day, a 3rd and 4th grade talent show, a teacher talent show, and field day. (Pretty sure no learning actually takes place at school during the month of May.)
Briggs and I spent some time with the girls at the track meet, as well as on field day. Staley was super sweet and let Briggs play with her and her friends during field day.
Briggs and I enjoyed a fun day out at Wildlife Prairie Park with Anna, a friend from Liberia.
Riding the train was the highlight for Briggs and the primary reason he wanted to go there. But we enjoyed the beautiful weather, a picnic lunch, and seeing the animals too.
Adelie had an end-of-the-year celebration in her classroom where her class presented their research project on frogs.
Adelie did great memorizing her lines and speaking in front of the classroom full of parents, grandparents, and siblings. She picked this dress for the special occasion because she thought the flowers on it sort of looked like lily pads.
We also found time to celebrate May (and early June) birthdays with Zach's family.
So many fun events took place in May and filled our month. However, it's nice to now say good-bye to the busy-ness of May and hello to the lazy days of summer.
