I woke up sore this morning, probably because of all the activity yesterday. I spent time organizing our classroom and the school materials this morning but by this afternoon the kids were itching to go to the pool. Since it won’t be open much longer, I happily obliged.

Sitting by the side of the pool, listening to my children play Marco Polo, I finally finished the novel I bought in a grocery store in Ohio on vacation two years ago.

Apparently overcast, cool August days the week school starts are the best days to go to the pool. We had the entire place to ourselves for hours!
