It was our last day at Scales Lake for the summer. It’s been a nice place to go. The children were really having fun yesterday, partially because it was not so hot, and partially because they have more or less learned to swim well enough to really enjoy the lake.

Savannah is really doing a nice job and so is Edan. Phoenix went down the slide with Miss Leigh, and his face said, “Oh! Oh! Oh!” as if a great curtain of life had been lifted and he suddenly understood what the whole world was about. I think he’s going to experience that again later in life. What a great little boy. Jack H flew down the slide as well as Sam and Jake. So proud, so proud!

We had a nice lunch and we brought the left over fruit from the luau the day before, and then when everyone had had their fill, we gave the rest to the animals at the petting zoo. It was great fun.

Then we went to investigate a new site of play. It’s a sprinkler park in Boonville, so for the next little while we all put our heads together and decided on a plan. TBA

We got back to school at 4:00 and had a cheese and cracker snack and then settled into the business of going home for the weekend. Truly a nice day.
