Yeah, when Scoobie and the kids get up here, they're going to be expecting those warm Gulf waters, or the shallow stuff like they find in Cape Charles...

Not gonna happen...

Nope, not at all.

Don't know about you, but getting the pool set up and watching the kids splash around while we relax on the deck, fire up the bbq, and have a cold one, is all this girl is looking forward to.

I don't blame you, The atlantic ocean tends to be frigid up this neck of the woods...If you have a private pool, you'll be all set!!!

Just one more reason to cozy up in front a fireplace is all.  It's all good.

Good thing I've still got some firestarter logs and a few bundles of firewood left.  Oh, and cleaned out the fireplace finally...

My daughter is fine with switching (nervous, but fine), and a positive of it happening now rather than waiting until school is out is that she'll get an idea of the difference in curriculum and will have all summer to get up to speed (if necessary) when school starts again in the fall. We've talked to her a lot about it, she wants to do it this way, and she's excited to make the move.

It will help her to meet kids too, before school gets out.

Agreed.

Meeting kids over the summer can be hard if you don't live near them.

If you meet and exchange contact info prior to the cessation of the school year, you're much better off.

There are plenty of kid-friendly activities around there that I can also get her involved in over the summer. I'm sure she'll run into some of her classmates in the process.

I was thinking of you today when I saw softball mitts. getting her on a town/school team. I wasn't sure how old she was, or if she was sport orientated.

When I was a freshman in college...I went home with my boyfriend Mother's Day weekend. To Skaneateles NY. I took spring clothes. There was snow on the ground. I spent a week in the hospital when I got back to school, I was sooooo sick.  :bawl:

Summer between sophmore and junior year of college, I spent on Lake Sebago, Maine, working at a private girl's camp, as a waterfront instructor -  teaching swimming, water-skiing, canoeing, lifeguard, and counselor. The ice had just thawed off the lake, a few weeks before. Like getting into a large bowl of ice water.  :o :o :o

Scoobs....I have a couple of pairs of long johns and ski overalls that I will never use again...where do you want me to send them?  :wink:
