Fun in the Sun

Last Friday, the Kindergarten classes at Rand Road Elementary held their annual "Fun in the Sun" day. My mom is on summer vacation - like many of my family members, she's a teacher - so I was able to volunteer for the morning while Finn and Lily got to play with Mema.

 Thursday, Baby Jordan was with us...Aunt Heather, too. When both grandsons wanted to sit in his lap, Gran wanted to capture the moment! :)

Fun in the Sun Day began with tons of bubbles and sidewalk chalk. Most of the children could have cared less about the chalk. :)

Cassidy had not been herself for the past few days...the low-grade fever that she had with the walking pneumonia had returned. But, with as much spunk as she could muster she chased and popped as many bubbles as she could.

She WAS thrilled when she finally got a turn with a giant bubble wand!

Next it was on to Musical Dots. It was so fun to watch all the kids' personalities while playing the games. Cassidy was very focused...she was serious about winning, while some of her classmates danced wildly around the circle to the music! :)

After Musical Dots it was time to bowl. The kids took turns setting up the pins for each other and returning the ball to the bowler.

LOVE this picture! She must REALLY be concentrating!!! :)

And it paid off! She knocked down most of her pins. :)

The class crowded around Mrs. Jones as they listen to directions before the start the water station.

There were water tables and a teacher spraying the kids with a hose. Most of the kids were in hog heaven!

Normally Cassidy would have been right in the middle of all the fun...trying to get as wet as possible. But on Friday she hung back and tried to stay out of the line of fire.

She kept smiling and trying to have fun...

...and for a moment I thought she was going to join in...

...but then she ran over and asked for her towel. She stood next to me the rest of the time.

She did muster up the energy to join her class for the water balloon fight that ended their outdoor activities. I had a nagging suspicion that she was not well, so I took her to the pediatrician after school where we discovered she had traded pneumonia for strep throat. She and Lily are now both on antibiotics again (Lily has a double ear infection). Hopefully everyone will be well in time for the beach trip! :)
