New School for Alden

 Alden is attending the Gardiner Boys and Girls Club for the summer. The schedule for his regular school was tricky for the summer season so we decided to try a new one.

So far things are great. I do not think it is as academically rigorous as his other school, but he likes the kids and activities and he went on his first field trip on a REAL SCHOOL BUS (very exciting) to a beach last Thursday. The Boys and Girls club is flexible so when Alden's little brother arrives in August we can play it by ear re: his attendance.

New Bed!

It has been a long time coming, but Alden finally got his big-boy-bed. He loves it. Thanks grandpa Scott for the gift!

Here is a picture of Alden with a sledge hammer. We smashed up an old stone BBQ pit a few days ago.
