Bella Alane graduated this morning from Pre-K.
Functions included class assembly, student experiences, a reading of Oh, The Places You’ll Go, and diploma ceremony. Brownies, juice, and a veggie tray was provided at the after-party.
Bella and I boarded a plane for a trip to Georgia. An extended visited with friends and family.
Bella and I spent the first day on the lake riding in the boat and wave hopping in the tube.
I drove of Ellijay, GA—featured in the April 2008 issue of National Geographic Adventurer!— for some trout fishing... ok, really drinking beer with friends, relaxing, reading, and laughing.
Bella spent the weekend with grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins having a lot of fun. We wrapped up the weekend with a cookout (and the final round of the Masters on the TV).
We are looking forward to next year!
