This evening Ava's school put on an event called the Cougar Crawl. (Her school's mascot is the cougar.) We met at the front of the school, then walked about a mile around the neighborhood surrounding the school. When we returned we ate food and danced to music provided by a DJ. It really was nothing very fancy, but the kids LOVED it. I had a lot of fun getting to catch up with a few of my neighbors - nothing like an event to bring us all out of our houses and socializing together. Jocelyn enjoyed stalking the mascot all evening. Molly and I played a game of "yelling" I Love You to each other throughout the walk. Ava had fun finding a few of her classmates, but making new friends while they were all getting their groove on. All of the kids had a blast dancing - I kept trying to get good pictures but they never stopped moving! It was such a great night, but rather than me trying to describe the fun I'll let the pictures below do the talking. I am so glad Ava gets to be part of a school that has such a strong sense of community around it. It was a great way to kick off the school year... and a wonderfully crazy evening to tire my kids out.
