Last Week of Summer Vacation

Last week we didn't make any plans, at Boylee's request. So pretty much all we did was watch the pool being repaired.

This week he's got one last camp: Destination Science's Techno Robot Creators:

Spend the week discovering robot science while creating & adapting your Mega-bot until it ultimately takes on the characteristics of its creator....you! Embark on a robot adventure which includes a robot maze race, a robo-artist experience and a camp-invasion battle to see which robot will rule the roost. After lunch hold on... Our camp is being invaded by mini motorized micro-bots that you design! This techno camp includes: electric room alarms, laser spinners, electronic bug listening devises & more.

Sounds like fun! And it will help pass the time until we can swim, which turns out to be Thursday instead of Wednesday.

A Terrible Temptation

Whaddaya mean, no swimming till Wednesday?!? It is HOT out here and that pool is just sitting there, unused. It's CRIMINAL.

That Didn't Take Long

They drained it on Tuesday, we're filling it today (Friday), and then with time for curing and chemicals we'll probably be swimming by Wednesday.

A Warm-Up

3rd grade approaches, so Boylee and I have started a little project:
He only has to do one row or column a day, and so far he's started with the really, really easy ones.

This Can't Be Good

Getting Ready

We still have three weeks to go, but today I got inspired to make a few new lunchbox notes for Boylee:

This year's topics include word scrambles, silly jokes, palindromes and "would you rather" questions.
