This is the last work trip for me this summer without Paul and Anna. Next up: Dad's house for the 4th of July and then London and Scotland (the 3 of us!) for my last work trip of the summer. We will manage a day trip to Stonehenge/Windsor Castle/Bath and a second day trip to (THE) Loch Ness in between work! So excited!
I know these travel opportunities won't last long so I am so very grateful to get them and to include Paul and Anna. She's lucky to be coming on such trips so young, but I make sure she knows this isn't common for most kids and she should be grateful for all of it. She gets it.
Two rules when traveling with me:
1) Keep up!
2) No complaining!
In between trips Anna is in various science and art camps. She's asked to also be in basketball camp so we signed her up to see how she likes it! She's still loving hoops in the front yard :)
She had a painting class at the Paint Pub with her Girl Scout buds yesterday and this is the result:
She's good :)
Between camps, trips, tons of pool time, and neighborhood friends, she's ha in a dream summer in my opinion! She even got a job at the clinic for days she has downtime at home and had to hang with Paul there. She is saving her money for the London trip.
She's proud of her work and on her first day she took me around he clinic to show me all she had done :)
She's started the public library's summer reading challenge. She's reading at a few levels higher than 1st grade (awesome!) but as for craving books, she can take me or leave em. So when I told her the library was having a "challenge" that definitely got her interested! Girl loves a good challenge and she's already read through many of her required 10 books for the summer :) I'm trying to find some really good chapter book series she'd be interested in but I'm new at this. Just bought her the first of he Magic Treehouse and I also got her Nim's Island because she loves adventure like those. We shall see!
Life is good. We are so very grateful.
