Onto Middle School!

 The end of 5th grade was filled with lots of fun activities for Ashton.  He had his final Violin concert at Linganore High School.  I wanted to get a picture of him all dressed up with his violin, but he wasn't in the mood.  At least I was able to sneak a shot of the entire beginning band and orchestra!  They sounded amazing!

 

His elementary school had a 5th grade promotion ceremony.  Unfortunately, that day Ashton was not in the best mood.

However, the last day of school shows true joy!  It's one of my favorite pics of Ashton and waffles.  I think everyone is grateful that school is out for the summer.  I am so proud of Ashton for expanding his tent pegs and trying new activities.  He's spent the night at Camp Journey, rode a roller coaster yesterday at Camp Adventure park for the first time (apparently he loved it so much he rode it 20 times), going to try overnight camp at Camp Manidokan for 6 nights, going to youth group, and making many new friends along the way.

We also went camping with Ashton's sister Arianna. They had a good time and bonded over some Big Bro and Little Sis art!
