Three Kids and a Dog: Off to 5th Grade

Before Hailey started 5th Grade on Tuesday, we had one last summer hurrah with her friends.

We started with picking up four of her friends and then had lunch at Chick Fil A before heading down to the city to check out the Museum of Ice Cream.

It was actually Peyton’s idea to go there and she was not happy with me taking Hailey and her friends while she was in school. Turns out though that the Museum of Ice Cream is very cute but I think geared more toward younger kids.

When we arrived, we all needed to be creative and think up an ice cream name for ourselves. Hailey was Hailey Hot Fudge and I was K-Ron Cookie.

They then of course gave us ice cream and ushered us through the first part of the museum which were a bunch of rooms with facts about ice cream or games you could play. Of course there was more ice cream to eat in every room (we probably didn't need to eat the Chick Fil A beforehand!). The Sprinkle Pool capped off the end of the Museum and the girls had so much fun jumping into the pool of sprinkles. It was a great way to end the summer.

The next morning, it was off to 5th grade. Hailey did want us to walk with her to school so both Tom and I accompanied her and didn't get at all nostalgic that this will be our last year at Prospect Elementary School after 11 years there!
