Today was the first day of school for many of the children in our neighborhood! Kindergartners have staggered entry the first week for assessment testing. This morning was Madison scheduled assessment time for 10am. She was up bright and early eager to start school. We were dressed and ready for our day by 7:45. At 8:10 we walked outside to watch the bus drive by. Then it was another hour of her patiently waiting to leave.
The time finally came for us to make our way to school. She was very anxious to get to school and if she was nervous, she didn't really show it.
When it was time to start the assessments, the teachers came, took the children and told the parents we'd see them at noon! There wasn't any time wasted giving us VERY quick kisses and then finding her place in line. Jeff and I made our way back at noon and the smile on her face as line leader was PRICELESS!!! The assessment went well and she told us all about a few of the new children she met. We were all glad that that first step was now behind us.
Perfect timing for lunch!! And where do you think Madison would want to go for lunch?
Mellow Mushroom, of course.

First stop...Adventure Landing where we rode go-carts and played a round of putt putt.

Next stop, Target for school supplies and then the final stop of the day was to Snip-its for a haircut before starting school next week.
With a FUN filled day, you can imagine we are all VERY tired. What a WONDERFUL day! Would not have changed a thing and can't wait to have another FAMILY FUN DAY!!!
