No More Pencils, No More Books...



Today is the first official day of summer vacation! This was the view from our kitchen window this afternoon and it sums up the day nicely. Marley completed Kindergarten yesterday! She had a "Kindergarten participation ceremony" on Tuesday (can't call it Kindergarten "graduation" because not all Kindergartners advance and heaven forbid we leave anyone out, even if they never did a lick of homework). The Kindergartners treated the audience to poems and songs and it was super cute.

I've purposely kept our summer calendar semi-clear so we can all recharge our batteries. We are going camping this month for a couple of nights (the girls' very first camping trip), we'll be going to the Amazing Bay Day and Festival of Sail in July with Girl Scouts and we'll be spending lots of time at the pool. We are doing a "staycation" this summer to work on updating our kitchen. Other than that, we are just cruising. Ahh, summer!
