Twist and Shake

It's almost open again! Hurrah! It's been a long wait for ice cream around here, but yesterday I noted some big, important changes to the building. The first being that it has a sign now, a pretty sharp looking sign at that. Also, all those cheesy posters of food you would never order are up in the windows, but they're all new and bright, not sun faded and framed with dead bugs. Can't have an ice cream stand without that! Finally, there were people inside all wearing the same shirt! Will it open today? Tomorrow? Are they waiting for the 4th? The suspense is too much!

Day Camp is over and we survived again. The weather was certainly on our side; not too hot and it never rained. The boy finally got to go wading, feet only, in the river yesterday. Better than nothing, but certainly not the week long river swim he usually gets to take during day camp. Today, we pack and pack and pack. The boy leaves for camp tomorrow. And with E. in Vermont, it's going to be girly week around here!
