We were back at school the very next day for the year end awards ceremony.  This is one of my favorites of the year as they celebrate each and every kid who attends the school.They find a gift in everyone and it is applauded.

Our girls were horribly embarrassed to be called up in front of the crowd but we were very proud of them. Annabelle received the language arts award for 6th grade. She is an excellent reader, writer, speller etc. Gwyneth received the reading award for 5th grade. What an accomplishment for our little dyslexic gal. It’s been a good year, but we sure are ready for summer. 

We had a late night flight out to Dallas that evening. We were all pretty exhausted from the late night travel. We didn’t get to the hotel until after midnight, but we were all pretty excited to get our mini-vaca kicked off. 

These gals fell asleep for about an hour on the plane. I love traveling with them. They are such great travel companions.

The view from our room. Maybe because we looked so disheveled when we arrived, they upgraded us to a pretty great room with a view of the courtyard. Even though we were all dead-tired we had to spend a little time on that balcony enjoying our view.

After a great night sleep we were ready to tackle Dallas!
