School's Out for the Summer

This was my daughter, Emily, getting off of the school bus cheering in the summer. A minute later she was in tears because she misses her teacher already. The end of the school year is such a bittersweet time. Things will never be the same.

Lucas finished 4th grade today, Emily finished 3rd, and Clara, my littlest, completed Kindergarten. 2 of my 3 will be in different schools next year.

Bring on summer! Let's partay!
Oh, Amanda, I remember at the beginning of the year and your school bus shots. They were full of emotion, and this one is too! So perfect. Tell Emily that her teacher misses her too. Here's my daughter's photo of the other end of the bus trip: http://365project.org/laurielizard/365/2015-05-25

Like Jane, I also remember the start of the school year. This is just charming and signals a great summer to come!

She doesn't mind that her exuberance is caught so nicely in this shot! I think its marvellous that she has a good teacher!

We'll be facing that, too, in a couple of weeks. It's so bittersweet, isn't it? On one hand I can't wait to have my kids all day. On the other hand...my kids will be here ALL day.... Such a look of joy on her face.

@epcello I feel the same way. I always get terrified at the start of summer. Feeling more excited now, though. We'll see come tomorrow afternoon!

Reminds me of the song "School's Out for the Summer" by Alice Cooper!! I loved that song!! https://player.spotify.com/album/0zKjnOsXxs63unPR6TWoHq/5Z8EDau8uNcP1E8JvmfkZe
If you're able to download it and listen to it, it is perfect with this photo!!!

@cashew It was my inspiration for the title. Last year I blasted it when the kids got home. They hated it:). Thanks!!!

Wonderful exuberance at the start of summer... I used to feel the same way. She must have a great teacher, to miss her so soon. You capture your family moments so beautifully. :)

Awww, are children so sweet. We still have 3 more weeks of school to go here. At least this month is full of fun things, which they missed out on last year due to teachers strikes. I bet you have a fun summer planned for them!
