The boys finished the school year with a bang this May. All 3 boys had field trips (highlights below) and Sam passed 8th grade (with better than average grades!) so he will be moving onto the high school in the fall.
Charlie' class had an overnight field trip to Lake Shetek. Seth was a chaperone and everyone had a blast - even if they didn't sleep much. When they were gathered around the campfire, Charlie led everyone in the song I Have an Aunt, which is loads of fun. Seth captured the tail end of it on video.
Frank's class took a trip to the children's museum in Brookings and Sam's class went to Sioux Falls for various adventures. We weren't able to chaperone these field trips, but everyone came home completely exhausted so they must have enjoyed themselves to the fullest.
The evening of the last day of school, we had Mass and a reception for the 3 graduates. Sam, Ian and Elizabeth have been quite the trio at St. Edward's and they will be greatly missed! The picture on the left was the one chosen for the school bulletin board featuring the graduates.
To celebrate the end of school, the boys destroyed their workbooks. I think 3 workbooks kept these 7 boys (4 cousins included) busy for about 2 hours as they hit them with baseball bats, had snowball fights and jumped amid the pile of paper on the trampoline. (And they did clean up the mess, in case you're wondering.)
