Peace Out YELLOW SCHOOL

Andrew's First Day of Yellow School

Andrew's Last Day of Yellow School

Andrew finished up his Kindergarten year at the Yellow School a week early so we could head to Destin. He has really enjoyed his three years he spent at the Yellow School. He has grown so confident and his experience, especially this year, has been wonderful. This is EXACTLY what I wanted his pre-school years to be like.....full of fun, full of imagination, and a fostering a love of learning! Next year he is moving on up to "real" school and will be a St. Francis Wolf!

Andrew turns 6!

Lots of experiments with bubbled

Andrew TURNS SIX!!!

Andrew requested a science party this year that ended up being a BLAST!! Mad Science came and did a great presentation of all kinds of experiments. Then we had stations set up through out the yard with other fun, messy STUFF!!! The Mentos Gyser was by far the favorite!!

Destin 2011

We were able to take advantage of the last week of spring rates and snag a beach house right on the beach this year. It was fantastic. Besides a few shopping trips and an occaisional meal out, we pretty much played at the beach the entire time. It was GREAT to have the world’s largest sand boc in our backyard and then have spactacular views of the the Gulf as wee grilled dinner in the evenings. Since our voyage started at 2AM Saturday morning, our routines started VERY early (sometimes before 6) and ended fairly early too! One evening we had a photographer snap some casual pics that I am SUPER happy about. Matthew was not a good sleeper and his naps were spent in the jogger. That was OK though, because I was able to get my workouts in. I think I logged 20 miles that week!

We can’t wait to go back next year. I hope this ends up being a family tradition because we all seem to really enjoy it. But, how could you not with the beautuful white sandy beaches!!
