our first place

visiting the animal shelter

this is where I bought my first dog Sandy (cocker spaniel) in kennel #1 when I was 13 years old. I like to visit any chance I get to check kennel #1 and see what cute dog is there!

Batter UP
our date with Katie and AJ

after the batting cages we headed to the
funnest park in Norco to go bull-riding and climb rocks!

my funny hubby

Pleasant Surprise!!
one of my BF's Jessica came to visit me and we did lunch at Chipotle... YUM

my LAST day

1. passing the torch to the new teacher... Ms. Shamim.
we played a 'get to know you' game to get the kids acquainted with her.
I'll be honest, it wasn't easy


2. a Puppy party!
I think I might have enjoyed it more than the kids!

my favorite dog... Kimmie- she's a shitzu

3. Water PLAY-
since 1/2 of the kids forgot their swimsuits, i had them play car wash... which they loved!

4. Katie and her bf AJ came to serenade us...
soon the school caught on to the singing and every class came in to hear her!

5. Goodbye Party

I didn't cry the whole day until I walked out to my car and I could hear the kids screaming my name and saying, "come back" and i knew that I couldn't look back, i got in my car and started balling as I drove off. This has been the hardest thing to walk away from, but I have so much to look forward to in Utah, I will find out next week what age group I'll be teaching!!

The HUGE mudpit... kinda gross but SOOOO fUn!

cuz my kids were scared to go by themselves!

you can't see me in this pic but I flew ahead of this boy that sat with me!
yeah, water slides are an extreme sport!

soakin' WeT

FOR the record, I DID get in the mud pit, just didn't want my camera to get muddy too! Every inch of our bodies were covered in MUD and I wish I had a chance to go when I was younger, but i'm glad I had the opportunity. This place is called Adventure Playground in Irvine and it's $5 to get in for the whole day and it's a BLAST- def a great group date idea for sure!
