Schools out and I love to celebrate the beginning of summer. I told the kids that if they invited the friends I would have some water activities set up in the back yard for them on their last day of school. I thought they may invite four friends or so. Sammy invited 12 girls. I was a little surprised but I thought why not. Sammy has great friends. Steven had three friends come and we had a couple younger kids from the neighborhood come over as well.
I thought it turned out really fun. I had lunch for them and then they played and had a blast. You can’t have a party without music so I set up my stereo speakers and put them in the window. Hopefully it wasn’t too loud for our neighbors. The kids played water balloon volleyball, red rover-red rover, slip and slide, played in a kiddie pool I had set up, and invented their own games when we turned on the sprinkler. We topped it off with a movie. We are now officially ready for summer.

That reminds me of some of the last day of school things we did in Orem. Especially the water stuff. Great traditions to start.
