B. hasn't added the final outline of the boat yet but this is the picture he painted for Paw Paw.

B. found out larger rockets fly farther. Aunt P. and B. made a new rocket. B.'s book has spaceships in the story and they are like rockets.

This is B. reading chapter books. A Bug, a Bear, and a Boy has 5 chapters.

Quest: How Do You Make Popcicles







Mix up some sweet tasting juice and put it in ice trays. Then put the ice trays in the freezer. Wait for them to freeze. Take them out and eat them. Yummy!

Cousin S. can ride Granny's 3-wheel bike faster than any of us. He is searching for ToTo, Dorothy's poor little doggie. Can you hear the Wizard of Oz music playing in the background as the witch... I mean Cousin S. rides the bike?

Cooking at Summer Quest






















Cherries, cherries, cherries. B. loves cherries. He wants Granny to buy some more cherries!






Applesauce was just okay. B. prefers plain fresh apples. And he prefers biscuits over watermelon but cherries over biscuits.






Applesauce recipe: 2 Pink Lady apples peeled and grated. 4 tablespoons of sugar. Splash of lemon juice. Dash of cinnamon. Cook on stovetop. Serve.

Let the Fun Begin!

Tomorrow begins our Summer Quest. For writing, my nephew will decide what his book might be about. We will work on the setting and the characters of his story. We'll see how far we can get. On tomorrow, we will tweak our schedule and build in some flex time. After all, we may have a quest for spontaneity!
