Nature gazing

I know I saw a four-leaf clover in there. We just have to both look very carefully to find it again. 

Sittin on the beach of the bay

It's not the Jersey shore, but we got to start our summer vacation with a little beach this week, thanks to Sandy Point State Park on the Chesapeake Bay. 

The beach isn't as big as in New Jersey and the waves aren't as high, but it's only 20 minutes from home and gave us a chance for some safely-distanced swimming for the first time this year. And you can't beat that. 

Last day of school, 2020

So, the last day of the school year was really different than the first, but we still managed to rock fourth grade and kindergarten. We haven't had uniforms on for three months now, but we did learn a lot even from our home classroom. And hopefully we'll be back in class soon. 

Speaking of rocking the school year...

And Emma got her Kindergarten graduation diploma plus a "Phenomenal Friend" award, to which she said "well, I was a pretty good friend."

First grade and fifth grade, here we come!

Hello, summer!

The grass is longer, the trees are blooming, and it's gotten so hot out here that Jonathan agreed to put on a short-sleeve shirt. Must be June for real now. 

Make your own water music

Sometimes, science and art and music class all come together in perfect harmony:

Science class with Grandmom

Every class is better when you get to sit on Grandmom's lap. Just saying. 

Hiking with style

Walking in the woods is no reason to stop being fabulous.
