The Boys of Summer

The summer is just about over. Seems wrong some how. Summer took so long to get here. It was the third week in June, when I was coaching Caz's baseball game in a heavy jacket and pants. It was cold. Now, with two weeks left in August, the night time temperature is getting below 50. Ridiculous.

The boys, Coco and Caz, are rolling with it. Beach, movies, baseball, the Sox, the Pats preseason, whatever it is, they are having fun with it. They have had spots of the summer doldrums, battling boredom. But not much of it. Part of it is their own creativity. But Demi and I work at keeping them buys. Camps and such can only cover so much of it.

We have had reading time in the hammock. We have had family kick ball games in the front yard. There was a Yahtzee tournament. Shrek the board game. You have to work to make family time. It's well worth it when you do. These are the time kids will remember when they are older.
