5th Grade Graduation

 Around here, 5th grade is the end of the line in elementary school.  So, yesterday James graduated.  The best part of the show was the kids doing the "Marcarena".
 James was so great, he was totally into it.
 "HEY MARCARENA-AY"
 Not a great picture, but the kids performed a few songs for us to show off that they know the states and state capitols.
 This is why my pictures aren't the greatest.
 Getting his certificate from the principal.
Happy graduated boy!
