Pool Opens
Well the school year is coming to a close Max only has 9 more days of 1st grade and then it's on to summer camp. In Max's school they have reading baskets and Math baskets and the farther you get in these baskets the more advanced the subject matter gets. Max has some ultra competitive gene and has tracked not only his progress but can name all the students and what Math and Reading basket they are currently on. He pays special attention to two girls who are head and shoulders a head of the rest of the class. He is in constant pursuit in his attempts to catch them. While it looks at last as if he is going to fail in this quest, I have to say he has been driven to learn and I feel he is going to be a pretty good student. On a side note he managed to obtain the phone number for one of these two girls earlier in the year. I asked him if he was going to call her and he looked at me like I was an idiot and said no.I took the day off to see Jake play indoor soccer on Friday, he did a great job, I brought my camera but unfortunetly left the memory card at home so no pictures. He signed up for a second session and should be in good form for outdoor soccer this fall. He has come a long ways since the first practice I witnessed earlier this year. He works hard and comes off the field a steaming ball of sweat. When his teams scores he gets excited and chears the loudest. He has not shown the competitive fire Max's seems to have but perhaps it is because this is the first year he has been put in a competitive situation. He's definitly not that into T-ball, I think it's because there is a lot of standing around.
The community pool opened this weekend, we bought our pool pases on Friday and were at the Pool all day Monday. It seems it got hot quick hear. Vangie is only working two days a week this summer, I think she is planning on spending a lot time at the pool. Here is a shot of the boys on the first day.
