Taryn's Preschool Graduation

Sadly but it is true, it was Taryn's last day of preschool and graduation day.  All of us met at a wooden park in Oak Ridge for the festivities.  First we let the kids play in the sand, burying their toes and loving every minute of it.  The weather was gorgeous, perfect for a graduation outside.

Myself and Heather were in charge of games and mine was first-donut dangling eating contest.  I even sprinted for the good donuts, Dunkin Donuts with sprinkles. The funny part was watching them walk around with their mouths open like little birds trying to get the donuts.  

Taryn was the winner.  I have no idea how she did it, but she got a hold of the donut and ate it off the string. 

Then it was Heather's turn to showcase a game.  The kids had to kick a soccer ball around the cones, but if the ball hit the cones the kids had to do 5 jumping jacks.  Ha ha ha. It was great.

Graduation time.  The kids made their graduation caps at their last preschool class.  They colored the caps to match their personalities.  They even made tassels to go on top.  They were adorable.

Abby printed each child their own graduation certificates.  The kids thought that was cool.

Taryn was all smiles.  She has loved preschool this year and so have I.  I loved being a part of her education.  I am sad that next year she goes to a "real" preschool.  Sniff Sniff :(

I love her!  Congratulations Taryn for all your hard work this year! And a big thanks to Abby, Heather, Megan and Kristi for all the great educational and fun times this year.
