Beach Party Day

On Thursday, May 29th, Cash's Kindergarten class had their Beach Party. This is a day that had been written on the calendar weeks earlier, talked about, asked about, and anticipated by my lil' man since it was first announced. Heck, B was super excited about it, too, and honestly, I was looking forward to being back in the classroom to volunteer. 

So the day came. I sent Cash off to school in his swim trunks and Crocs. Then I got ready to head to town to volunteer later that morning. My parents came to watch the littles while I helped with the Ocean Centers in his classroom.

Here he is with his partner, Reeve, at a center across the room. I had a break from helping with my center, so I snapped this pictures. Each of the kiddos got to wear leis. Love that smile!

He always has a bright smile for me when I come in to help. At the center I helped with, the students got to make a beach scene cupcake. White icing, blue icing, graham cracker crumbs, a teddy graham, gummy life saver and an umbrella. Did he eat it? Only the icing... :)

They made visors, jellyfish, fancy fish, colored sand bottles, waves in a bottle, and tossed rings on an inflatable dolphin, just to name a few. He had a blast!

I ended up having lunch with him, then went home to check on the littles. Grammy and Grandad headed out, and I loaded B and Moonie up to go check out the second part of the Beach Party Day.

Around 1:00, all the Kindergartners headed outside for a Limbo contest and some water fun! Everyone brought their favorite water shooter and a towel - and were ready to get wet. Siblings were welcome, so even B got to get in on the fun!

Moonie was busy watching all the Kindergartners run around, enjoying the hot day with their friends. She was also busy relieving some teething pain.

Although the line was long, they were able to fill it up quicker than I thought and head out to find a friend to soak.

I got tickled because B had no fear. These kids were older and bigger, and he knew only a handful, but that didn't stop him from blasting the first one he came to. 

Here's my big guy soaking a friend. It ended up being the perfect day. Hot, but a bit cloudy, so no one got too much sun or roasted.

 So much fun! They enjoyed it, their friends enjoyed it, and I believe the teachers and parents had fun, too. Happy Beach Party Day!
