School's Out

All the Wevodau boys are out of school for the summer. Aidan's last day of Kindergarten at Glenhope Elementary was June 4th. Ed's last day at Colleyville-Heritage was June 5th and Austin wrapped up preschool with half a day on June 6th. Ed celebrated by taking the boys to the Indy car practice at Texas Motor Speedway - their first trip to see race cars! They got some autographs (although Ed said the line was too long & the boys were too fidgety to get Dana Kirkpatrick's) Aidan was most excited about the 2 McDonalds cars, but couldn't believe it when he learned only one of the McD's drivers was from the United States. Even at 6 years old he recognizes what an icon McD's is in the US. What he doesn't know is how global they are.
Austin informed me that they had green and orange earplugs that they poked in their ears and that they saw a crash. A tow truck had to go out on the track and the driver had to go see his doctor.

Aidan had a kindergarten graduation ceremony. They made their own caps using what looks like a coffee filter, posterboard and some gold yarn and they used men's white dress shirts, wore backwards for gowns.

Aidan's favorite part of the end of school was that his teacher Mrs. Gray gave him watercolor paints. As he explained it, she was going to get new ones next year so he could have the old ones. He talked about it for days leading up to the last day. That last week he even painted a picture, brought it home and showed us what his to be paints could do.
