2021: June, school is out

Our pool is opening! The boys are signed up for swim team, and Charlotte will likely join a class for lessons. We are disappointed they aren't selling passes this year but hope to still visit often this summer.

Last day of school trip for ice cream.

Zach got his first shot.

Charlotte is preparing for her recital in a few weeks!

 





2021: May, second half

The end of the school year is usually pretty busy, and this year was no exception even though some things were modified for covid. We all attended a state park lake boat tour with Charlotte's Girl Scout troop. Frank and I went to Zach's band concert (see if you can find him in the photo!). Then the Boy Scouts set off for the mountains, where they enjoyed a nice cabin, Gabe set up and slept in his own tent, and Zach spent one day/night backpacking with some of the older scouts.

The boys got their computers set up and are enjoying having a little more independence. Gabe was celebrated at a drive-thru 5th grade graduation at the school. And Charlotte got another use out of her Rainbow Dash costume for book character day at school.

We made up for some lost weekend time by watching three Marvel movies on Memorial Day weekend: Dr. Strange, Guardians 2, and Spiderman: Homecoming, the one Zach was really looking forward to. At this rate we'll have watched them all before any more are released. We also spent some time putting together more Ikea; the wardrobe is very nearly finished.
