Overall the temperature in June was quite cool. We did not go to the beach once.
The girls had their eye exams and there were no issues.
My mom came up and we went on the garden tour. The gardens weren�t as nice ones we have visited in the past. The best one was mostly forest and escarpment. Though it was nice to visit the ones that backed onto the river. They were amazing properties.
The highlight of the month was Paula�s 8th grade graduation. We bought her dress in Walkerton ($220). We bought 2 pairs of shoes in Hamilton ($30 and $20).
Her grad was the last Wednesday of June. My mom picked her up at school at noon. I took her to get her hair done at Heather�s at 2:00. She had a waterfall braid and curls. We left at 3:00 ($40). We went home and I painted her nails and toes. She did her own make up. She got dressed and at 4:30 I took her to meet up with 5 of her friends for a photo shoot. We left at 5:30 to pick up Paul and my mom to head to the school. Lily stayed home.
We got to the school at 5:45 and found a seat. The ceremony started at 6:30. There were 80 graduates. Paula was the second one to get her diploma. She received an achievement award for high grades and she also won the French Immersion award. We were very surprised and happy for her. Her friend Seth won the Tom McCartney award that was presented by Cindy. I wished Cindy had stayed at the end so we could have had a chat.
After the awards and a slide show we had a piece of cake and left the gymnasium at 8:30. All the kids looked great. It was so nice to see them all dressed up. We took lots of pictures.
We left the kids to their dance and went home.
At 10:00 Paul took me up to East Side Mario�s so I could help decorate with Debbie. Paul left at 10:30 to pick up 5 kids to bring them over. $10 at the door gave them pizza, pasta, salad and pop.
We left at midnight.
Paula had a fun time and really enjoyed hanging out with her friends. She is excited about high school next year.
