Friendship Fiesta

The end of the school year is always tough for me.  This year it was compounded with the fact that not just the school year was coming to an end:(  I decided that we not only needed a little celebration ...but we needed an excuse to get the girls together with some of their close friends.  I was going to call it a Farewell Fiesta, but went with Friendship Fiesta to make it more of a happy occasion rather than focusing on the sad.

 We kept the food simple with nachos, fruit cups and Churro sundaes.

After they ate, they played some group games the girls came up with like Spud and Human Knot.  Then we did a photo booth of sorts so they could have pictures with friends.  We did a group photo first...

Then we also did individual (pair) shots.... We broke out the sombreros and the kids had fun with it!!

And what fiesta would be complete without a pinata?  That was a lot of kids to go through and Mark was giving them 3 swings each.  I decided even the little ones had to be blindfolded.

We barely made it through the line...and that was with some serious spinning and yanking of the rope on Markos part:]  But we did get there ...barely!

It was a fun little get together...the weather was nice so luckily we could hold it outside...since inside is turning a little scary.  I will miss all these kiddos.  They have been so good for our girls in so many ways!!
ADIOS;)
