Boys of Summer
Last week was the first week of summer vacation. Ground rules were set: work in the morning, play in the afternoon. They fell into the routine easily, and one morning I discovered Ron doing the laundry when I woke up.
This week, summer activities started. Every morning this week, they have a three hour baseball camp at the high school. One boy was reluctant to go yesterday, perhaps fearing the unknown and perhaps thinking he knew it all already, but when I picked him up, he thanked me profusely for signing him up and chattered on about everything he learned.
Wildcat baseball also started this week. This league is for the children, not the parents, so practice and games are during the day. Two other boys from the neighborhood are on the league and I am the official carpool mother.
The pool is finally ready for swimming, so I'm sure an afternoon swim after Wildcat will be added to our routine.
They are scheduled for several day trips with Campus Life. Ron signed up for several 4-H projects. We have a three day trip planned with the church to Spirit Fest at Kings Island Amusement Park. A friend gave us a fabulous deal for a week rental of her lake cottage. Ricky's going to skateboard chuch camp. Steve's taking two summer classes and the boys have a morning Algebra class for five weeks. And sometime we have to squeeze in a canoe trip in Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
Sounds like a great summer, doesn't it?
