Last Weekend before the college drop off!

 



It was a busy weekend.  The days and hours are fleeing quickly until that guy on the right gets dropped at college on Thursday.  I'm smiling but I am sort of a wreck.  So excited for him, so knowing how very very much I'll be missing him.  I'll miss calling out to him, hey look at the sunset.  I'll miss him calling out to me to come see the moon. But he needs this.

Sunday we drove two hours west of our city so that he and Elisabeth could take a hip hop class at Jacob's Pillow.  This is a cool experience because the participants are studying with instructors from companies that are touring.  This was a class led by Compangnie Kafig and it was extremely cool.  Both of my kids liked it (and rocked it!) The class was supposed to be an hour but ran 90 minutes.  This is them afterwards with the two instructors.  A fun side note, this pic is from Elisabeth's phone. She initiated them taking the picture!  A sure sign that she also enjoyed herself.

I did not get to see much of the class as this one was held in one of the Pillow's indoor spaces. The last time we went they were on an outdoor stage and I could observe the whole class.  I did get to peek in at the end though and it was so cool to watch.  KC is so fluid and just lights up when he dances, and Elisabeth was having a great time as well. 

I also have been overwhelmed with the kindness shown to KC as he readies himself.  A customer where he works gave him a brand new dorm fridge.  As in, still in the box!  A co worker gave him a brand new microwave. It is clear he is loved by many.  I have always said there can never be too many people loving your kids.  In today's turbulent times that is ever more true.  May he meet many more of those people in this next chapter of his life.
