olden day school

girls on the boat

the hysterics of this time could not be captured in a photo....circles, and ore circles while I figures out how the boat worked. good times.

the boys

there were even rides at the museum....so of course we took part and enjoyed them.

ice cream time.

olden day things

washing facilities from long ago. fascinating, how they did laundry and were so efficient with the process of heating the coal and using it to produce the steam to power the washing machines and the heat to the dry the clothes hanging in the rafters on the next floor up.

I have seen this sculpture on a post card...but to see it in person, so neat.

 ps...way to flippen hot...no AC kids and adults sweating like crazy. picked A up early bc he wasnt feeling well...and just wanted to take care of his tender heart which might be aching as next year none of his best buds are in his new class. He did however get the teacher he was hoping for. It will all work out. Let summer begin!

Em and her dear friend Joanne...who sadly is headed to England for the next two years.
