Kids bowl free...

The kids love to bowl and there is a wonderful program called "kids bowl free" - Check it out at their website. The whole program is free (hence the name) and all you do is sign up and your kids can bowl 2 games a day for the whole summer for free!! All you do is pay for shoe rental. You can even allow the whole family to join in for only $25 (we have not done this just because we don't have a lot of time). For a rainy summer afternoon, you can't beat it except that we here in the lowcountry of South Carolina do not know what a rainy summer afternoon is because we have had no rain in weeks but I digress...
Anyway, it is fun to go and see the kids bowl. Check it out - for our family, you can't beat free :)

School Days are over....

The end of the school year was really crazy this year. We had Kira's spring chorus program, 2 awards ceremonies, and fun end of the school year parties. The kids had fun this year at their school and the pics are proof.

The focus of Kira's chorus program was all dogs as you can see :) She was Brittany Basset Hound. She had a part in the play as well as being part of singing all the songs.

This is Kira at her awards program. She received a gold medal award for her A.R. reading program and a Chorus certificate.

This is Andrew at his awards ceremony. He received the top excellence in art award for the 4th grade and then received his award for patriot honor roll.

And this cute pic is just one thrown in because I think my kids are cute - hehe :)
