homebound in the middle of the summer

Both boys are napping this afternoon - they're both tired from staying up late Saturday night at our neighbor's graduation picnic, Dima's coughing and it's raining off and on today - a thunderstorm already rolled through so it looks like we'll be hanging out inside. Maybe a game or two of Uno, maybe puzzles, definitely will read Dima's "homework" book - they bring home a different book each day in a baggie and the assignment is to read it. The "Camp Success" (they used to call this summer school) teacher is trying to give them a little slack since it IS summertime.

This is his last week of this and Josh's last week of swim lessons - it'll be nice to have a less scheduled schedule so we'll have some freedom to get out and about more. I'd like to get around to some caches in or near parks and definitely re-visit a new bouncy - place we discovered last week. On Josh's birthday it was rainy in the early afternoon and after swimming / camp we - and some friends went to Bounce Zone http://www.bouncezone.org
to use up some energy. The place is off the beaten path so we were essentially the only ones there and of course Josh did what he does when we're out an about he made friends with a bunch of teenagers. These kids seemed a bit big for this kind of place but there weren't many kids there at all - hopefully if there were more little kids there the big ones wouldn't want to be there or they would be sent to their own inflatable slide and the little kids kept off of the same one.
The timing that day worked out well because by the time we left the Bounce Zone it was nice enough to go back to the pool.

As I type this it's clearing up - at least the sun is coming out so it could turn out to be a pool afternoon anyway - I get cell phone updates if there are storms coming so we'd be able to clear out if needed. Kids are up no more time to type.
