Day 1963 | Virtual Summer School

We signed up for a virtual summer school class taught by the boys’ art teacher. A lot of our adventures lately have been inspired (and motivated) by this class. Today was another gem. We went to play in the river in a different part of the city and it was a total blast. The water was really shallow and the boys could frolic on the sand bar with near-total freedom and without me having to worry they would float away. It was a really lovely way to spend part of the afternoon.

*As a side note, I was telling the boys about Biden’s Vice President pick when I heard the news (while they were swimming). On the way home–about 20 minutes later, Robbe said to me, “Mom, if your president doesn’t get voted, I’ll buy you Oreos.” Can you handle how amazingly thoughtful and sweet that is? He even told me he would use his own money. I made a deal with him, though. If my president DOES win (ahem…when he wins), I’ll take the whole family to the new Kwik Trip (convenience store) down the street from us and everyone can pick out any treat they want. Even a slush puppy. That’s how they know I’m being serious. Let’s hope the Kwik Trip treat day wins out. If I’m eating Oreos on election night (or the day after), there’s a good chance I’ll be eating the entire bag…while sobbing. :)
