Lily's Last Day at Preschool!

Yesterday was Lily's last day of preschool (this year). They had a little ceremony for all the kids graduating and advancing. They sang songs and did the pledge of allegiance and performed a little play. It was all so darling, you could just die! Lily is only one of 3 kids who wasn't graduating onto kindergarten this year, and it made me kind of sad to know that most of this year's friends wouldn't be back next year. But luckily for us, Lily's the coolest chick in town and she makes friends with just about everyone she meets. So, we're happily looking forward to all or our summer fun and next year's new preschool friends. After the "graduation", they had a little luncheon and then for an extra treat, we went to Legoland with Lily's best friend Sydney and her awesome mom Vanessa. They had never been before so it was really fun to watch Lily take Sydney on all her favorite rides. We had a blast and Lily was completely exhausted when we got home (that didn't stop her from waking up at 5:00 this morning!!). So, here's the photo/video recap of the day:

Could she look anymore bored? She looks like all the 17-yeard olds in my church class on Sunday. "When is this gonna be over??"

This is all of Lily's friends. That, of course, is Sydney on her right, and if you skip two to the left you find her boyfriend Micah, and next to him is her other boyfriend Adam. She just can't make up her mind between them...it's rough being 4.

This might be one of my favorite pictures ever. It just captures the essence of Lily and Sydney. All extreme, all the time. But they really love each other and I love that.

Here's Lily on the "Bionicle Blaster". It's Legoland's version of the teacups and it's Lily's favorite ride.

What would a day at Legoland be without an ice cream cone? But I have the most boring kid in the world. Sydney's a normal child, she orders the brightest and most disgusting sounding ice cream on the menu (in this case, cotton candy) and what does Lily order? Vanilla. I couldn't even talk her into chocolate. It's kind of embarrassing.

All the kids had to get up and say what their favorite thing about preschool was. In case you can't understand Lily, or just in case you think you misheard...she did in fact say "My favorite thing about preschool is eating crackers." At this point, I looked to my friends and said, "Why have I been paying the monthly tuition for preschool, we have crackers at home."

This was just too cute not to show. I love the heart thumping part. So cute.
