Summer: Sun. 8/22 - Sun. 8/29

The last week of summer! We went to the pool; played lots of Chinese checkers; had a fun evening in Connellsville with Mom and Dad and other family; Lucia went to a birthday party at a trampoline park; Greta went to a sleepover; and we had our block party, where we met so many nice neighbors. It was a whirlwind. And now it's the end of the summer. It feels like it lasted forever and also a second. 

Final reading tallies:

Greta: 10,000 pages

Lucia: 7,000 pages

They both read so many good books this summer. I asked them to pick their favorites, and here they are:
