Last day of school 2008
Friday was our last day of school before Christmas vacation!!! It was almost a snow day, which would have been very disappointing for the kids, but the buses made it out of Georgetown and were able to deliver the little darlings to school. The morning started off with our traditional Singing in the Round, which is always a hit. Each grade level (K - 3rd) sings two different songs and then we all sing one song together. Here is Briana's class during one of the songs (yay - aren't they having such a good time!?).
Later that evening her teacher hosted a caroling trip through "The Trails" (our local gated community). All the kids (with Bret and another dad as the "tailgate") loaded up in a trailer with hay bales and went to various (pre-arranged) homes to carol. It was cold and a little wet, but great fun. We ended up at the teachers house for cookies and hot chocolate. What a neat experience for them. (I sure as heck wouldn't do it with my students - he he!!)
Here they are at one of the homes caroling.
You'd think this would be a fun, family-oriented event, but it almost got ruined by some real-life scrooges. Security came up behind us with lights flashing letting us know they had received several calls from residents saying a large caravan of cars was driving around.
So??? Are you kidding me? The front of the caravan was a truck pulling a trailer decked out with Christmas lights and kids singing Christmas carols. Get a clue and some holiday spirit people!!!!
