Last day of 8th grade for Gabe. Last day of middle scool for him.. last day of middle school for all of us. hard to believe !!!!!<\/p>\n

Gabe had the rare pleasure of being able to drive to his last day of 8th grade.. I was really proud stting there next to him.<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

The school day had this wonderful ‘who cares’ layed backness.. I loved it. I could remember just what that felt like. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

There was a really cute recognition event..\u00a0 Mr Carbonne. the principal kicked it off (what a cool guy.. really !\u00a0 ..) <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

Each of the ids had to recognize one of their peers.. Gabe recognized Lance , Jack W recognized Gabe.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Afterwards the kids walked down to the park to hang out for the rest of the day.. I dropped bye to say hi.. Gabe and his class were playing ultimate.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

I wanted to do a science stunt that didn’t involve explosions.. which was hard.. Diane had a great idea.. a windbag.. I have these bags that are ultra thin (2mil) plastic bag tubes about 50 feet long. You tie both ends up and let the sun heat the air.. the warmed air lifts the whole thing into the air.. Pretty cool when you see it.. how often do you see a 50 foot snake thing in the air..\u00a0 ?<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

You get a sense of scale here. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

You need to keep them tied down..with the right weather .. a little cooler than today.. they’ll keep rising. Tere are several instances of these getting high enough to show up on aircraft radar.. we don’t want that. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Gabe spent the day at the park while I went off to work.\u00a0 When I got home we all went to the end of season Lacrosse cookout at Mills River. \u00a0 Coach Craig and the other coaches did a great job thanking the team.\u00a0 <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

On last shot at a (poorly lit.. sorry) team picture .. and the team faded into summer.. It was a great season.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

We celibrated the end of the school year.. and the end of school lacrosse\u00a0 with the first creemee of summer on the way home.. <\/div>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/center>Now I’m the only person in the house who has to wake up early around here.. how’s that goign to work ? ..:-)<\/p>\n

Max is up at Eden tonight.. I’ know he’s in town.. but I haven’t caught up with him much yet. Hope to get some more time and pictures with him tomorrow !. <\/p>\n

Nite for now.. nite all .. nite Sam
