groovin' into summer vacation

on the last day of school,

we dressed up the barn a bit for an end of year dance party!

pizza, watermelon, doritos and popsicles were served.

oh how i wish i had a picture of the entire crew that day...

i think i counted 75 kids, mamas and babes celebrating, munching, 

running through the sprinkler and grooving into summer vacation.

so so fun!

 

i think i can predict many more dance parties in our future...

these people have moves i tell you...moves!

until next year...happy summer vacation sweet friends!
