Evelyn's "graduation day" for preschool

This was the day that Evelyn "graduated from preschool" last Spring.  The preschoolers got to ride a bus to the park where we had their graduation ceremony, snacks and play time.  You can not believe how excited little 4 year olds get to ride the bus by themselves.  They do it so they know what it will be like to ride the bus when they start Kindergarten the next year.  It was semi anti-climatic because she returned to the same preschool again this year and will have that same "first school bus ride" again this year.

  I had not been able to get a picture of Evelyn getting onto the bus since she ran on 1st and I was back with Natalie and Allison.    Here Allison is running to the bus. She quickly ran and got on too.  

 I had to go onto the bus to get a picture of Evelyn and she was already near the back, sitting and buckled in.

 I let Allison sit on the but a few minutes before I had to take her with me to go drive and meet the bus at the park.  She thought it was pretty cool.

 Look at that grin.  This is when Evelyn got off the bus at the park.  She was so proud of herself for riding all by herself and meeting me there!

 Natalie LOVED climbing around and under and through and up everything.  She had not fear and tried everything that her sisters did.  She did a great job of making me nervous.

 Natalie did not miss out on the otter pops, Oreo and juice box snacks!  She thought they were awesome!

 View up the lake from the park.  

 After riding the bus back to school I got a picture of my 3 happy girls!
