Summer vacation kick off!!

Monday June 16th marked our first official day of summer vacation.  We got up and headed out of the house with the mantra "ready for anything" and our swimsuits under our clothes, towels in the trunk and a big bag full of snacks.
Alex had an appt downtown so ran a few errands and then headed over the Clinch Park.  We usually avoid this area in the height of summer because it tends to be very crowded and you have to park a long way from the beach.  But it's early enough to be pretty empty right now and we had never tried out the new splash pad they put in at the park.
Maya loved the splash pad.  Alex doesn't even really like running in the sprinkler so it wasn't his thing but he did like the rope bridges to climb on.
Then we spent some time playing on the beach.  The bay is still really, really cold (surface temp barely 50 I think) so they didn't go far into the water.

Then we went to Alex's appt and on the way home we hit the downtown library and signed up for the summer reading program (more on that later!).
