Summer Days

We're two days into summer vacation and so far things have gone well. Amanda has a routine where the kids start off the day with some chores and educational time. Amanda is teaching Noah how to read with a book that is supposed to work with 100 steps. That may sound like a gimmick, but Noah eats it up every day. He's probably going to be reading by the time preschool starts, if not shortly thereafter.

Today they went to Lake Crabtree to enjoy the stretch of mild weather we're enjoying this week. Noah got to play with his friend Scott and Lily took Katie from up the street. A good time was had by all.

Tomorrow Amanda gets to drop the kids off with a friend and she plans to use the morning to take the kayak out on Lake Crabtree. It's not every June day that the low dips below 60, so we've got to take advantage of these times while they last.
