Tuesday: a classic summer day

Today felt like a classic day of summer vacation.  There was some school work done, but it was in the form of a video game.  Joshua had gymnastics.  There was a boring errand. 

We also went to something at the library called "Science Tellers."  They tell a story with special effects and then walk through the special effects to show the science behind them.  At first I was skeptical.  It was a good story, but I wasn't seeing how the kids would connect it to science.

She also used a lot of volunteers, which is always fun.

We had some more screen time after that and then the boys wanted to play in the sprinklers.  (Side bar: The sprinkler people finally made it here to 'start' the sprinklers today, on their third try.  I signed up for an 8am appointment so I would be first and wouldn't have to worry about the 4 hour window, but they didn't show up until 9:30.  Then Isaac noticed one of the sprinklers wasn't working.)

They had a great time playing in the sprinklers with the tunnel.  I know it's for toddlers, but it's a 'safe zone' from sprinklers too.
