Summer: Week 1

In an effort to make things memorable for my kids I try to plan at least one fun thing a week during the summer vacation. I'm afraid I'm not always successful. Just today, Good thing #1 said in a sad upset voice, "I had high hopes for the summer."

Oh well.

Memorial Day 2010 was spent in Scofield. We had a grand time playing with cousins, eating treats, and sleeping at grandma's cabin.


On June 2, the chicken saga ended. Two of our three chickens died in the heat. It was pretty sad, and I felt guilty for a couple of days, since I'm the one that left their box out in the sun. The kids said their goodbyes to "Bones" and "Suess," helped bury the little guys in our backyard, and then gave the survivor, "Mario Ninja" to our neighbor (now renamed, "Gundy").



The rest of the week was spent enjoying the lack of schedule with a little Chuck E. Cheese and Trafalga thrown in.
