School's Out

Today was the last day of school at Cook Academy in Zambia. No one was more excited than me (the Mom). For our celebration, we made a cake and shared it with our staff at lunch.

As the kids were thinking about the end of school, Coby played this song from HS Musical. Here’s an excerpt: What time is it? Party time! That's right say it loud! What time is it? Time of our lives! Anticipation! What time is it? School's out scream and shout! Finally Summer's (Winter in Zambia) here, Good to be chilling out, I'm off the clock, The pressure's off, Good-bye to rules, no summer school, I'm free to shop 'till I drop, No more waking up at 6 a.m. Now our time is all our own, We're out of control!!! School's out, lets show it!Champions we know it! Let's say it loud! All together! That's what the summer is all about!Summer's here! Summer time is finally here, Lets Celebrate! We want to hear you loud and clear now! School's Out! We can sleep as late as we want to! It's our time! Now we can do what ever we want to! Summer's Here! It's our time! Celebrate! Come on and say what you know!Summer's Here! It's our time! Celebrate! The time of our lives!

After lunch, the kids played games in their own "Field Day" events. They used their imagination in creating these games, and even had to use tools to make some of the games. Upon arrival to Field Day, Kelsey was hidden in the tree and dumped leaves on Austin and Coby as they arrived. Then we went on an animal tour of the guest house, searching for wild animals like lizards, and the famous cat "Isabelle". Cousin Abby joined in the fun as they played tug-of-war and ball toss. Then it was time to get wet when they bobbed for apples. Sorry I didn't get pictures of this.
