Preschool Graduation for Kadie!

Kadie had a great year at Preschool and we were so blessed by her awesome teachers and great friends. During the last week of preschool, a bunch of the families went to the zoo together. It was a cool and wet morning but it was a great day at the zoo. All the animals were out and really close up. It was amazing. The kids were so excited, running from place to place. It was just a great day.

One of Kadie's favorite's on this day, the alligator! If she only knew the size of the huge gators that her Popop catches in the river by his house she would be shocked. But we will leave those pictures for another time. Her other favorite was the naked mole rats because they were "so cute!" Pretty funny since she got to see a giraffe face to face and watched the black bear pace right in front of her and stared at the sea lions for nearly an hour. But naked mole rats were her favorite. Pretty funny that Kadie Girl.
Family love, the kids really had a great day together. We even rode the train.

Issie on the train, having fun. She was pretty happy in her stroller most of the time and was passed out by the time we left. Not really sure if she noticed the animals at all.

The wolf is new to the zoo and came right up to the fence while we were there. Pretty cool.

Mommy's favorite, the hippos. Kadie says I only like them because they are "boring" and I love boring stuff (like reading, talking to my friends, sleeping, cooking). She likes to tell me this a lot, how boring I am. But we all know that I love hippos because they can sleep underwater and just float up to take a breath. I think that is so cool.

The self portrait, I remember doing this all the time in college, there is a reason we don't take pictures like this anymore. But it sure shows how tired we were by the end of the day. We went home and all took long hard naps.

Then on the last day of school, the school had a picnic and a little performance where all the kids sang songs from the year and Mrs. Kim gave them all these beautiful scrapbooks of the year. I cried of course. Kadie is so full of joy at this little school and they taught so boldly the truth of God. She will be heading to public school for Kindergarten and even though we love the school it is hard to see her not have the saturation of God and Jesus in everything that is taught. Plus Mrs. Kim is like family. We cannot wait for Issie to be able to be there too.

Our Kadie Girl, you are growing up so fast. We love you.
