This week was way better! There was a lot of optional school work, which took off some pressure. We went to swim team in the morning. I walked with Spot and sometimes a friend or two. It was a nice start to the day. On Tuesday we went to the school to pick up all the kids belongings. Some of their teachers gave sweet gifts. After we ate school lunch at the Bentons. It rained pretty much all day. We went to get ice cream like we usually do after the last day of school. It was a fun treat with friends. The girls went to their last week of dance classes. The recital has officially been canceled. I got to walk in the park with Laurie. I played a fun night of tennis on Thursday night. On Friday we went to a play date with the Cutlips and Applegates before the Cutlips leave for the summer. That night we did dinner at TCC with the ole gang. It was nice to catch up with everyone. We ended up going to the VanWie's for a nightcap. That parlayed into them picking us up at 8:30 the following morning on their boat for a day on the water. We were supposed to meet up with some of their friends to go to shark tooth island. But it was muddy and slimy (with snails, which Abby loved since those are her new obsession) and no sharks teeth. We tried one other little island and then ended up at Ft. George. It was a great way to kick off the summer! We came home and got everyone cleaned up and settled then the adults went back to TCC for dinner. I was wiped out. I tried to go home, but Phil talked me into staying out. We had chocolate martinis at Biscotti's then the Hershorins. This morning we passed out books before mass for Pentacost. We had Ava Mae sleepover and come to mass with us. We all met back up for bfast at TCC then a mixed doubles tennis match then singles with Aubree. It was so hot we spent the afternoon in the pool. Lots of deep coversations over the weekend about racial tension. Lots of anger out there tonight. I'm praying for peace and understanding.
