Wrapping up another year

The school year is quickly coming to an end.  Christopher is finishing up finals this week and Nicholas has finals next week.  We met with Christopher's counselor yesterday to start prepping for the fall.  Our final scout meeting of the year was also last night where we had a campfire and retired flags.  It's been an up and down school year.  Glad it's pretty much over but the summer is just starting to ramp up.  We now have to get Christopher ready for boy scout camp.  He's a counselor in training this year and will be up in the Adirondak park for three weeks.  Nicholas will be up there for one week with his troop so Ellen and I will get a week with no kids (yeah!).  But there's much to do between now and then.

Beyond kid's activities, not much going on.  The weather and our schedule has not been condusive to riding but I've been gettng out all I can.  There are some mountain bike races the next couple of Tuesdays so hopefully I can get to at least one.  Ellen wants to do some hiking and mellow riding so we MAY have some time for that.  I'd also like to plan a day trip or two so we'll see how that works out.  Right now a lot of things are making me feel like life is on hold.  I'm doing a lot of waiting.  And I'm not so good at waiting.  But there's nothing else to do so you keep moving forward.
