When I got home from Maine, John was immediately thrown into the fire of Trek. 50 leaders were soon to arrive to be trained and a week later 250 students were going to hit the backcountry for a week of adventure. In the meantime, the kids and I had some items on our summer bucket list to accomplish.
So here is what we checked off on the list:
- Hike Mt. Abe
- Jump at "Get Air" -- an indoor trampoline space
- Pick blueberries
- Hike Mt. Mansfield:
- Bike the causeway:
I let the kids drive the bus on this one. They wanted to hike and they did a great job. Friends joined us for some of our adventures. We made sure that all of the experiences were fun-- bottom line. If they weren't fun, we weren't going to do it. The spirit that the kids approached these adventures with was what mattered most. They love it. I loved it, but I was exhausted by the time I needed to be back for inservice.
While I went back to the classroom, the kids spent some time with sitters and did four days of field hockey camp:
And even with all the hecticness, John and I managed to get out on a date!
And we even got out for a family date night in Burlington.
