barrett: 133 months old

                                           

We're knee-deep into June!  Barrett has fully embraced summer vacation.  He's having fun swimming in the pool, sleeping in, and playing too many video games. He's at his first sleep away camp, and while I worried about him going because Barrett does not like new things, he's acclimated pretty quickly and is enjoying himself.  Other than the choppy boat ride!  He's at Texas A&M Galveston Sea Camp (with Britton, though she's in a different camp group) and living in the dorms this week.  They are learning about marine animals, doing dissections, visiting the aquarium, strolling through marshes to collect samples and do experiments and science stuff, and going out on boat rides.  I hope he remembers his sunscreen!


Likes: cooking!  And he's getting really good at it!

Dislikes: when his bangs get too long and flop into his eyes

178 months old



We're squarely into June now!  School is over and summer vacation has taken over the house.  Britton immediately started sleeping in every day, which is fine by me because she spent the last year getting up at 5:30 am every morning.  She starts art camp next week with some clay and sculpture, then it's off to sleep away camp this year for a week.  June is going to go by so quickly!  

And she hasn't forgotten about softball. Britton and the hubs have started training at the gym together, and then they do batting practice together!
