Summer Days Are Here Again

Binbin's summer vacation began just over a week ago, and while it's taken us awhile to get used to the new routine, he didn't miss a beat. Yesterday, the first day of summer, was in his words, "a busy day." Yup. It began with climbing camp at the Maine Rock Gym in Portland. He and his pal Emma have been bouldering and traversing and crab walking their way up and around the walls. I think that we may have convinced him that "camp" isn't a bad word.

Yesterday also marked the kick-off for the library's summer reading program. The kiddies laughed and squealed to the hilarious antics of a juggler-unicyclist-magician. They had so much fun that, unfortunately from the mom's perspective, the whole idea of books got pushed to the sidelines. Well, there's always next Tuesday to get us off to a second start.

Finally, Binbin's t-ball team, the Slovaks, played Bard's. It was a beautiful warm afternoon, and after the usual three innings, his team's record stands at 0-0-12, or thereabouts. He had one solid hit, and his defensive play is improved, especially when he and Danny aren't just goofing off in the in-field.

We look forward to our first taste of strawberry season later this week. Happy Summer!
