HAPPY HUMP DAY!
I'm a little late here (big surprise I know) but here are the pictures from the grandson's last day of elementary school.
Here is is walking to the bus for the last time - no book bag - just his lunch - he wanted to see what it would feel like carrying nothing.
The principal decided to have it out on the field - it was 97 degrees - the hottest day of the year so far!
Chatty - Sharon (grandson's other grandmother) - and daughter.
There was a balloon arch that the kids walked through to get out on the field.
It was also windy that day.
They also laid out the red carpet for them - they don't do anything half way at his school.
The school's motto.
Okay the gal is the current principal and the man was the first principal when the school started - and he was the principal when grandson started.
Wild Chatty - Sharon - and daughter. (Remember the picture of which one was my daughter - the red head).
Grandson refused to wear a pink shirt - so he is the one in white.
They even sent up balloons!!!
The last bus ride home.
We went to the Olive Garden and his best friend went with us.
This marks the end of 6 years of school.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
Always untie the ribbon for today - don't forget.
so now you are the proud grandmother of a Junior High Student, ready set GO... enjoyed the graduation, i bet it was hot on that field.
ReplyDeleteGosh Sandie, How I remember the first days of my childrens schooling..then their leaving, then marrying then having their children and me seeing my grandchildren go to school.. It looks like a great day was had by all. Hot like here.
ReplyDeleteSandie, please can you tell me why you call it "Hump" day.. is it an American expression! I have never heard it before..
happy week.

ReplyDeleteI just got to say if you guys could be smiling out there in 97 degree heat! Wow! But seriously, loved the pictures, I think it was touching the former principal was there! Looks like it was a great day to celebrate this closure of your GS's elementary days. Now on to middle school!
ReplyDelete(I'm sure my son wouldn't have wanted to wear a pink shirt either :)
betty
wow...what a fun filled day! and they even rolled out the red carpet?
ReplyDeleteHow funny that he wouldn't wear pink..He is a mighty handsome young man...
thanks for sharing this great day with us..
Wonderful pictures of you, your daughter and grandson! I have 3 that completed their first 6 years of schooling this year, but didn't get to be with any one of them for the last day of school. They live too far away for this grand'ma' to be there hardly ever. You are blessed having yours close. Hope your Hump Day is a wonderful one!
ReplyDeleteLove your grandson's big smile at Olive Garden. What a handsome boy!
ReplyDeleteand off to a new school and new adventures in the fall - but first, summer!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the last picture of your grandson. What a handsome young man! Congrats for this big accomplishment. You look really cute!
ReplyDeleteI would have refused to wear a pink shirt too. :D I bet that was an emotional day all round. Nice to see you too!
ReplyDeleteGood end of the year! Proud of him and can't wait to see how next year goes! Enjoy your summer! hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteHi Sandie, you got some great photos of that special day! I'm glad you shared them with us. Your grandson is a doll and he looks like he had a great day! I like how he is his own man and refused to wear the pink shirt! :D Hope he (and you, too!) has a fun summer!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful day well documented!
ReplyDeleteFun day. That's nice to include family on the last day of school. And you braved 97 degrees plus humidity. Here, 97 is not sooooo very bad, since we in Utah had dry heat. Good going Grammy.
ReplyDeleteHI!!
ReplyDeleteI can hardly believe your grandson is going to Middle School...where does time go?????What a fun last day!!!Will he walk to Middle School?????ANd wow that is HOT for Georgia, heat plus humidity is not good.....it is HOT here too!!!
Enjopy your summer

jamie
Oh that was a fun tour - vitual experience. I loved your shirt! fun! Made me have courage to put on photos of me. You are a grand example. thanks!!!!!
ReplyDeleteTo bad they have to grow up huh? I just happen to work at an Olive Garden here in Florida! Love their food!
ReplyDeleteThat looks like it was a fun day for everyone!
ReplyDeleteLove your banner picture on top...reminds me of the old glass paperweights.
So nice you live close enough to enjoy these special times with your grandchildren. Mine are grown now but they lived in different places such at Germany and England. All the pictures are great.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sad and yet joyous occasion...thanks for sharing it with us! I bet he had a ball! What is his fave at Olive Garden? You should make a small photo album of this, and include other pictures, too. I am sure you too LOTS! It would be a great reminder of a landmark in his life.
ReplyDeleteThe last day of school looks like it was lots of fun -- for the students and the grandmothers!
ReplyDeleteMany reasons to be excited for him.The school gave a nice send off for the kids...he is a big boy now...:)
ReplyDeleteHooray!!!! He's officially a middleschool kid :)
ReplyDelete97, wow. It was 91 here today
Looks like a fun day for the kids.
ReplyDeleteYou look really cute too!

Debby
love the happiness is a form of courage quote...SO TRUE!
ReplyDeleteHow true - - every journey starts with a single step.
ReplyDeleteHow cute - - - your grandson's last day for the year.
Thanks for sharing a fun family time. God Bless you all and the little ones.
graduation to Jr High is so much fun....great photos...
ReplyDeleteNow, forward march to middle school . He'll be going to a new school next year, right? Great last day of school!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great finale to those six years, and to get to eat at Olive Garden. Bet that was a real treat for him and his pal!
ReplyDeleteCute post Sandie! I didn't know he rode the bus to school and home. I thought you or your daughter took him to school. My kids ride the bus and seem to enjoy it. I'm so glad school is out for now! But it seems like I'm busier than before...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That is such a great accomplishment! I hope you enjoy your evening.
ReplyDeleteA single step can become a giant leap. Congrats to you grandson. What a wonderful day it was. They grow up so fast.
ReplyDeleteWhat exciting times! And I love your quote at the end...untie the ribbon! It's a happy time for us...I want to savor each day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a neat celebration on the last day of school...
ReplyDeleteLove your pretty colorful blouse in the pictures.
Tell Grandson that MEN are COOL in PINK... George even has a pink shirt ---and he looks GREAT in it.
Love the Thought for the Day..

Betsy

Neat idea, Sandie, it looks like the kids all had fun. I think the parents did too, and the grandparents!

I know you are so proud of your grandson, Sandie. I envy your getting to be there for all of his milestones though I know you have another that you don't get to be there. Even being green, I am so happy that you get to share these moments. ;) Hugs and blessings ~ tanna
ReplyDeleteHe looks so happy. It sounds fun, except for the heat that day (yikes!)
ReplyDeletewhat a fun celebration on the last day of school. absolutely loved looking at those happy faces, i especially love your grandson's smile...he's very handsome!
ReplyDelete...and he looks so happy, yay, it's summer!
wishing you a great day ahead!
This post is taking me down memory lane. :) Nice pics Sandie. My favorite is the one of your our grandson and hubby...so sweet!
ReplyDeleteThat balloon arch is fun! I just spoke with someone at a store to find out who made a balloon arch for them. I thought it would be fun for a party. Olive Garden is always tasty. Nice to take GS and his friend out to eat. :) Congrats to your young man there!
oops! your grandson! sometimes I think I'm typing too fast! LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm just getting here. I've been one big whirling dervish this week.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I didn't miss it because the sight of that kid's grinning face is so adorable to me.
I'm cracking up that he wouldn't wear pink. He reminds me of a certain man I married.
Aw....sweet school daze photos! I love all the great memories. Life is fast moving! Enjoy the ride! Hugs Anne
ReplyDeleteLovely photos Sandie.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all.
Fantastic...
Hope you have a lovely Saturday.
