Use a backpack appropriate to your size.
I knew eventually the kids would be able to haul their own weight around here!

Laura had a friend over for a sleepover tonight. One of the activities she wanted to do was making ice cream for the ice cream “Saturdays” after supper. Here are the 3 kids rolling the ice cream maker around.

Laura took her summer reading list to the library and started to look up book to read. It’s going to be a very busy reading summer.

Rachel was in town, so we met her at an Italian restaurant. Colin enjoyed his spaghetti with a giant meatball. And we all were simultaneously stunned and appalled at the portion sizes. I couldn’t have finished Laura’s kids’ portion of lasagne, let alone the adult-sized gnocchi that Rachel and I split.

Colin is getting to spend 3 mornings a week with his teacher from this past year. He is having a great time so far.

Laura and her friend Miada went rock climbing with me today. We all had a fun time.

I was obviously feeling ambitious this afternoon. Supervised a double play date with Gwenyth (a friend from Laura’s class) and Forest (Gwenyth’s brother and classmate with Colin next year). All went well and everyone had fun.

Went and found 2 more geocaches that were rock themed. Kyanite is a pretty blue, and Bismuth is large crystals. No samples to keep in these caches.

Laura’s tap shoes were available so Colin decided to give them a try.
