The Start of Summer Break

The Last Day of School went well for the kids! And here we are already a few days into summer break. How is that possible.

M is devestated the school year is over. Mostly because the girl is a social butterfly and is already missing her friends. 

C is less sad about school being over. He likes the routine. But he was ready for a break. The last bit of Mondays there were more exhausting because he was just ready for permanent weekends. 

We surprised the kids with Hamilton tickets to kick off the summer the day after school let out.

We had a good time. Husband and I saw it in 2016 in Chicago. But this was the kid's first time seeing it. I am so glad we made it happen! 

We had so much fun that we kind of got on a kick and declared summer 2022 the summer of theatre. So we saw another show this past weekend. 

Madagascar Junior was more fun than I anticipated. We've got more shows coming down the pike too! 

Do you remember that C got Waldo for his birthday last year? So we now consider that to be Waldo's "birthday" too. So he got a betta log for his big day. We finally installed it and after some hesitation, both aquatic gentlemen have discovered it and find to be quite satisfactory indeed. 

In other aquatic news, swim lessons began last Tuesday and they're still going great. This year we put them together in the same "private" lesson of just the two of them. 

It works out okay! One of us waits, then takes them straight to their summer program, then heads off to work. In this heatwave we have, the pool was the place to be let me tell you. Sitting in my car for 30 minutes wasn't as much fun. (With gas prices so high you better believe I wasn't idling and just had my windows open!) 

And that's what we are up to about now. 

Happy Wednesday!
