first day of second grade

Tim is the second grade at Rivendell School.  His teacher is Suzanne.  Ironically, she's from England.

The Tepid Tablespoon Challenge

After a hot hike at Kasha-Katuwe near Santa Fe and then a walk to the Plaza from our hacienda and back later that day, Tim was desperate to cool off.  For the last thirty minutes of the walk, he regaled Gran on how he was going to do the Ice Bucket Challenge.

We discovered that our little adobe abode did not have either a bucket or any ice, so he settled for a glass of cold water, stripped down, and got in the tub.

Tim's first loose tooth arrived right around his seventh birthday, and it took a month to come out.  When it did, it was painless.  He was playing with it and twisted it around to the point it finally came out.

The day of Tim's birthday was the Cub Scouts Pinewood Derby.  His car was't aerodynamic enough to win any races, but he enjoyed the show.  There was a lot of sitting around and waiting.

Paul used a workshop of one of the Cub Scout dads to cut the wood.  We taped off the areas for black paint, and Tim did all the painting. I think that compared to the other cars, he did a lot of the work.

It's all very hi-tech and prone to gliches.

Tim invited 11 of his friends from school to a party at The Rock Box, the day after his birthday, a climbing room at one of the sports centers in Surrey.
