school's out...

hahaha! who doesn't know this Alice Cooper song...

yay! it's finally here... tomorrow the longest day of the year the summer solstice is my son's last day of 1st grade! i am overjoyed! i feel the kiddos have too much school - the days are too long and the year is too long.

i am psyched to get vacation started... here are a few lovely summer images.
