They have been playing "family" aka "house" since we got home from the park. They are now dressed up for a night out on the town.

Clement Classic

Today we enjoyed a fun-filled day at the St. Clement Classic. Gracie cheered while the teachers & faculty played basketball against the soon to be graduating 8th graders. Josie enjoyed the entire day but mostly hanging with her reading buddy from last year Katie & her 6th grade friends on the sidelines.  Oh my, Josie has her own little fan club & she loves every minute of it.  A good time was had by all :)
