June 16th, was the LAST day of SCHOOL! The kids go in for not even two hours and basically pick up their final report card and say their summer goodbyes. So, to celebrate, we went up to BUSCH GARDENS with all of our friends who had summer passes, and spent the rest of the day having lots of fun, when we should have been home packing boxes!

Had to include these first two, Tara and I were B.G. best buds and took our kids up lots together, since neither one of our hubby's could go...she is an incredible person and friend to me! She had already headed off on her summer road trip, so we were very sad she wasn't with us on the 16th!
