May 25: We love celebrating the last day of school at the Gorsch house (also the first!) I love picking my kiddos up and knowing that we have the whole summer stretched out in front of us... time for lazy days, playing outside, traveling, swimming, games, books, trips to the park, trips to the library, ice cream, and SO MUCH MORE! I love comparing their first day/last day pictures to see how they have changed. We love honoring their teachers with notes and gifts, and we love celebrating as soon as school is out! This year we had a pizza picnic with our friends--the Spikers. The weather was amazing so Michelle set up their water slide. It was the perfect way to kick off summer... feet up, sipping our LaCroix, chatting while the kids played in the water. Summer seems so MAGICAL (it is... mostly!)
Another thing we especially love is our family dinner to create our summer bucket list! In the past we have always done hot dogs and smores over the fire pit... well, unfortunately our fire pit didn't make it through the last year so we changed it up. We went to BD's Mongolian Grill and tried a new adventurous meal as we dreamt about summer. I love traditions but was recently reminded not to become a slave to your traditions--leave room for spontaneity and improvisation, this was a perfect example.
