School’s Out!

Week two of summer vacation is proceeding with great caution. On the plus side, Henry is at Safety Town, learning how to be a productive student citizen and gets to ride go-karts, Bella is cruising on the furniture, and Miranda is reading all the time. The library has a summer reading program and at 8 and 16 hours of reading you get prizes. She is at 3 hours of reading so far, after 36 hours in the program. In more pluses for Henry, T-ball started. They played 2 innings. He was the lead-off hitter, the catcher, and then the last hitter (an automatic home run!). And he had frozen custard afterward. And the neighbor was home today so he had a buddy to play with for most of the day.

On the down side, Miranda is going to Safety Town tomorrow. Her program is about bike safety and she is terrified it will be hard, it will rain, she won’t know anyone, and it will be hard. This will turn into a plus side by tomorrow afternoon, unless her bike is swept away in a flash flood or something. Then it will stay a down side. Henry’s bee hive dowsing skills (hmmm, dowsing is for water, is there word for finding bee hives?) have grown. If I forgot to add it to the last bee post, he has found 2 in the play fort and now one under his giant Tonka truck. So not cool bees, not cool.
