cub scouts

 

Tim and Paul camped out with the Tiger Scouts on the grounds at ACS last night.  He is very proud of his uniform.

  

Lawn games

 

Nice and snug in the tent.

 

 

Enjoying a s'more before bedtime.

 

End of evening meeting in the Tom Tent - a permanent structure in the woods on campus.

 

  

Up and breaking camp first thing in the morning.

The boy, Thomas, is new but the girl was in kindergarten with Tim.  Thomas is the son of the assistant principal.  Tim must be telling them where his Gran, Grand-da and aunt live.

One of the kids said, "Can we find the toilet on here?"

Working at science.

Working out the different degrees of sticky in foods.

first grade

Tim's first day of first grade.  He was happy to go to school and happy at the end of the day: success.

Mom's first day as well.

Daniel, James, Tim and Jack were classmates in Kindergarten.  Now Tim and Jack are in a different class from Daniel and James, but they will still see each other often.

golf camp

Tim took lessons in the US again this summer and seemed to like it, so we put him in a day-long golf camp back in the UK.  He spent yesterday morning at the range and the afternoon putting.  Paul found a great deal on a golf bag, putter, 7 iron and a 3 wood.  He'll do it again tomorrow.  Next week, soccer.

I like the golf lesson in America better because we got to ride in the golf cart.

summer boys

We've enjoyed two sushi related play dates in the last eight days.  YoSushi has a special on every Thursday all summer long, so we'll probably have one more when we get back from Colorado.  Tim eats chicken, of course.
