Celebrating My F.D.O.F.

Because of the looming preschool certificate ceremony....


and this girl's kindergarten graduation.


I have been cramming in some last-minute hikes to my favorite haunts including Red Rocks at dawn yesterday.


And my favorite secret hike the day prior.


And no, I will not divulge its whereabouts for obvious reasons.


Some call it "Summer Break."

I called those two days before school got out my "Final Days of Freedom."

How did you spend your final days of freedom?

===============

P.S. Congrats to my cutie-pie niece Emily who looked gorgeous at her 9th grade graduation party from junior high. Onto bigger and better things.

If you could call high school that.

LOL--FDOF indeed. My kids got out last week and I've a bit shell shocked with what to do with them already. It's going to be a looooong summer.

We still have another month of school. Canadians are such keeners.

Today is my last half day... but really, I have 2 at home still, so I haven't had freedom yet. I just have to get my daughter to readjust and have a good attitude again and summer will sail smoothly... or something like that.

Once you get a taste of freedom, even if it's only for 2 hours like I had, you'll never look back. :-)

They grow so fast, enjoy all these special times.

Congrats to your little ones.

And congrats to your niece--and frankly, anything is better than middle school ; )

And your hike looks like it would be beautiful.

Summer here means freedom! I can't wait until school is over. Then Jake and I can relax, sleep in, and generally have fun together.

Noelle said...

Wow, your secret hiking spot sure beats mine!

Today marks our second week of summer vacation.

Put a fork in me. I'm done.

Soooo beautiful where you live! Great place for a hike~

I spent the morning at the coffee house with a bestie - luxuriating in the hours we had left. ;)

Enjoy summer!
