Terrific Tuesday

I am constantly amazed at the gifts I've been given. One of the many is the view we get across our lake in the morning. After seeing this view transform itself from fall to winter to spring and now summer, I really appreciate a picture like you see here.

Some summer days clouds hover over the water. The mist gives an early morning magic to what I see. Yesterday's view was as you see here: clear, crisp, sunny, blue. So the day started off really well. A lovely summer's day for everyone.

Riding at the barn was awesome both on Monday and Tuesday. Jaime says the kids are doing really well and the horses are happy to be back at it again. I missed it all because I'm still in school. Today is the last day with students. Hurray! Then I'll really be there taking pictures.

When I got home in the afternoon though, there was fun everywhere. The art room was busy with beads. Then there were Kan Jam Frisbee games on the front lawn while others were swimming and boating. It was actually warm enough to have fun in the water!

Kan Jam Frisbee is a new game for me. It's a bit challenging actually although after much practice the competition picks up and those participating really do well. Here you see Jaime taking turns with Tarrah. The kids rotated in and out so there was never a dull moment.

I love learning new games. Apparently this is popular amongst college kids. In fact, I understand it was created by some college kids out there somewhere and now they are millionaires because they thought outside the box and shared their creative thinking with the world. Wow! What kids can do!

At evening program, Dr. Seuss took over bigtime. There were funky, rhyming skits that tickled everyone's fancy, and then we played a drama game called Freeze. I have to tell you I haven't laughed as hard in years. Oh my gosh! The kids were spontaneous, creative, outrageously funny and ready to go on for hours. They graduated to yet another group game however and then it was bedtime. This was one of the most terrific Tuesdays on record!
