3rd Grade Teachers

It's become an annual event...at the end of the school year, the 3rd grade teachers, all current and former, along with their husbands, significant others, and children, come together for dinner, conversations, and tons of laughs. With school over, everyone is a tad more relaxed and we're all able to just let our hair down. For the most part, we do get to see each other, but it's usually in passing, during breaks, on occasion, and even by accident...but to be able to sit down and just talk? Doesn't happen very often.

Since I've been gone, this is only my second dinner, but it was held again at Hahn's Hibachi restaurant in West Portal. Food is pretty yummy (BBQ Pork...good) and the prices are affordable. It's not a huge place, but big enough to accomodate all 18 of us. The seating arrangement doesn't quite work out...just a bunch of tables put together to make one really long one...makes conversation difficult unless you make your rounds. (let's leave it to Marcia's hubby to devise a new plan...lol!)

Looking around the table, it's neat to see everyone's kids- running around making noise, doing kids' stuff, plus the babies (baby Ethan!) and the baby that's on her way (baby Yu!). There was a time that I can still remember when most of the teachers present weren't married and were without kids...so today's get-together got me somewhat nostalgic. We weren't quite complete, though, and not having Barb, Erica, and Nellie wasn't quite the same. (we missed you!)

Thanks everyone who came out and special thanks to Mommy Low for setting it all up for us! It's been a great year, but it's time to rest up- have a wonderful summer!
