3rd Grade Graduation

We completed our schooling efforts about three weeks ago.  There wasn't much of a to do about it so I decided to throw Sofia and Marcelo a quick graduation ceremony complete with confetti and diplomas.

The graduation presents, kids kayaks. How fun. We have a tandem adult kayak but someone it seems it would be funner to be a kid with a kid kayak.

I'm so glad I caught these two moments on film digital.  

Between all the aggravation and darkness that children can cause [me], there are these moments of light and hope.

Sofia's reaction as I inform her of our summer homeschool plans.  Yes, learning is year round.  One of her summer school subjects, the 50 States using Little Passports USA Edition and selected books.

Regard her focus and careful deliberation as she reads the intro page.

And then ...

Some serious biking

This spring, we've taken quite a few biking trips. Here we are up Hobble Creek Canyon in Spanish Fork.  This was a bit of a tough ride uphill but super fun coming back.  Way to go!

Gymnastics Exhibition Meet

This year, Sofia passed off to Level 2 in gymnastics. Here she is sporting her hand made gymnastics leotard. She was sporting a rather serious look on her face throughout the exhibition. Her favorite part was clearly receiving a medal.
