Early Birds...season finale.....


This year has been awesome....I can't believe the end is almost here, but it truly has been awesome. I got engaged....my brother and his family had a new baby boy....and the season's end of the Early Birds Club is finally upon us! This past Thursday was the last meeting of the school year, so I decided to splurge a little bit. I rented a fat-daddy obstacle course for the kids. It was about 40 feet long and was bouncy....the kids had no idea it was going to be there when they arrived to the gym at 7:00 that morning! They went from a zombie-like, half dead state to an immediate bright-eyed and bushy tailed status when they walked in the door. I was very happy that they got to experience all this fun...they truly deserved it! We had way over 150 kids this meeting....almost too many to handle. If I do this next year I will definitely rent more than one moonwalk bounce house thingy. We had breakfast biscuits for all the kids too....some of them looked like they might be a little sick after they exhausted so much energy running through the obstacle course and then scarfing down a sausage biscuit! However, the end result was no casualties to the porcelain throne....breakfast managed to stay down. So, until next year.....It was an honor and a privilege to be a part of this Club......thank you to all the volunteers who helped this run smoothly....thanks to the parents for letting their children join....and thanks to the kids for being absolutely wonderful the entire year.....may the Early Birds hibernate peacefully!
