Since yesterday was our teacher workday, that meant last night was the annual Coontucky Fest thrown by a couple of our fellow teachers. They own two adjoining lots of land with a huge pond. Larry's family built a house there, but Scott still lives in Marysville, and has a camper set up on the property. For the last several years they have thrown a last day of school get-together, including a cookout, fishing, canoeing, trampoline jumping (for the kids), and bonfire. It's always fun and Maria and Sam love it. We were worried that it would get rained out yesterday, but the skies cleared by mid afternoon and it was beautiful - not even very muddy even though we had over two inches of rain early that day.
Both Maria and Sam caught fish - Sam one and Maria several. Luckily a couple of our fishermen friends helped them out - neither Ben nor I have any interest in fishing. They also spent a long time on the trampoline. It was nice because there were older kids to help take care of ours, so Ben and I were able to sit around the campfire with the other adults for a long time. Ben did take each kid on a canoe trip, though.
By the time we got home at almost 10:00, the kids were so beat I washed them off quickly in the tub and they went straight to bed.
And now it finally feels like summer vacation - especially since it will be over 90 degrees later today!
