School’s out!

The kids, I think, enjoyed their last day of school — the girl went on a trip to the zoo, and the boy spent half the day outside at recess (kickball, monkey in the middle — which I learned as “keep away,” and hanging out and talking). Then we went out for ice cream at The Cup, stopped by a comics and gaming shop we didn’t know was right there, and visited the library. And to cap it all off, bedtimes were so relaxed tonight that the girl didn’t head to bed until after 9 (and she said she’d tuck herself in, say prayers, and sing her lullaby). Not a bad start to the summer.
