Week one of summer has come and gone. I love being at home with Charlie, but I love even more that I know I don't have to be permanently at home. I have a signed contract guaranteeing employment in the fall- WOOHOO! This is good, but has a few annoyances attached: 1) I will be teaching only French 1 again- I really dislike teaching the same exact class all day & 2) it appears the hours are not changing next year, so it means less Charlie time :-(
So far this summer, Charlie and I have done a few fun things. By far, our best investment was the season pass to the Aquatic Center. Since openning day, (Friday before Memorial Day) we have gone 8+ times. Charlie is a fish just like Mommy. We also got season passes to The Henry Ford and the Detroit Zoo, which will be used frequently as well.
Charlie got his first taste of Greenfield Village on Father's Day, but we went back the day after school got out. He is so amazed by the train! He just chants "Choo! Choo!" everytime he sees it. We ate lunch and had a gutsy squirrel and chipmunk trying to eat our food. It was a good day. We went to the zoo on Tuesday but didn't get to stay long because the lines were ridiculous to get our membership renewed and get in the zoo. Once we got through the entrance, we only had enough time to see three things, eat lunch, and head home. I will plan accordingly in the future.
Now I need to start thinking of other things Charlie and I can do for free or low-cost. I still have 7 weeks left, and I don't know how often we can cycle through the same activities. Regardless, I am really looking forward to watching my little Bug grow and learn.
More to come later.
