Thriller

The principle at Cayman's school gave them a reading challenge and if the students won the challenge, then she would dress up as Michael Jackson and do the Thriller dance...lol. She choose 15 students to do the dance with her, and Cayman was one of those students chosen. It was hilarious to watch. Her principle is so much fun...she is someone who is meant to do what she does. The picture of them on stage turned out terrible because it was so dark in the gym, but I'm posting them anyway.

Awards Day at School

Tuesday was Mara and Cayman's awards at school. Cayman got awards for academic achievement (straight A's all year) and the Gold medal for being commended on all three taks tests. Mara was awarded the Silver medal for being commended on two of her taks tests. With Cayman being in elementary, pictures of her are no problem but I was only able to get one picture of Mara and her friend Brooke. No pictures of her getting her award :(. It's not cool having your mom at school in junior high...lol.

Memorial Weekend

This year to celebrate Memorial Day, the girls and I went to the country. Mikael's (aka bestie of 17 yrs) parents have a house in Gause, TX. It's about 30mins from Bryan, TX. We had a blast. Her parents little country cottage was built completely by her dad and neighbor. This house looks like picture from a magazine. Soooo beautiful. Cayman fit right in with the country folks, while city girl Mara just sat back and relaxed by the pool with her music and magazines. Cayman rode the four wheeler, drove the tractor, played horse shoes and swam until she wore herself out. If you know Mikael then you know she is a big kid, so the girls really enjoyed playing with her...lol.
