Teddy Bear Picnic

Today was Eli's last day of school. On the last day, they have a Teddy Bear Picnic which the kids absolutely love. They began with a parade where they carry around their bear (Eli chose his Oregon State Beaver as a final stab to his teacher who is a Duck!). Usually the parade takes place outside, but today was a rainy day, so they paraded to each classroom. Next, they went to different stations in the school and up at the church building. There were all sorts of things such as a water station, rice table, bubbles, trike racing, tattoos, hula hoops, balls, and other toys. Then the kids went back to their classrooms and had a hot dog picnic on the floor followed by a Popsicle. Eli had lots of fun and commented this evening that he did not want school to be over. I got numbers for play-dates and we are going to do some swimming lessons over the summer, so hopefully he will not be to sad without school! Evan got to go to the Teddy Bear Picnic as well and had lots of fun, seeing as how he thinks he is big enough to go to school anyway. The water station was definitely his favorite as he was completely dripping wet and had rice stuck all over himself. Fortunately we had Eli's spare clothes box. Everyone had a really great day!
