Are you ready for the summer?

Wow, what a busy month it's been!!  The Moms/kids camping trip was a great success - Riley and I had some very good bonding time and learned a lot about making fire.  Riley's soccer season has wrapped up and we're proud to say that her team lost only one game the entire spring!  Riley turned out to be an exceptional goalie.  We've done lots of swimming at the lake and trips to Splashdown already and it's not even the 1st day of summer!  The weather forced us but we're very glad to oblige.  I'm so glad that our friends the Shuks coerced us into getting a season pass for Splashdown - so worth it!! I went on a field trip to Constitution Marsh with Riley's class and we collected bugs from a stream and examined them.  Very cool. Riley and I also checked out an old favorite movie of mine at the library - Buster Keaton's "Sherlock, Jr."- and Riley giggled her way through the whole thing.  So satisfying to share favorite things with your daughter.  I made it through the big dance recital which had it's debut on an actual stage this year.  Riley did fantastically well as did all of my students.  We also celebrated cousin Paige's 4th birthday with her which was a special treat for all of us!  Riley had her piano recital and again did a great job and celebrated with a night out to dinner with Grandma, Grandpa, Papa Walt, Robin and Carm.  Rob enjoyed a wonderful Father's Day BBQ at my cousin Noreen's and got a new itouch which he adores which came with our new Mac!!  Yes, we've made the big jump to Apple because our PC died for the umpteenth time and we have just had it.  So, I'm typing this on our fancy new system.  It's really nice.  I haven't been too good about taking pictures of all these events and some are still trapped in our dead PC but I will post what I have left in my camera.  Last day of school is just 6 days away!!  My last day of teaching is tomorrow!!  Hooray for summer!  I am so excited to have less to worry about for a good 9 weeks...  Enjoy the sun!
