First Day of Summer

My son has graduated from the 3rd grade which means today -- rainy, grey and chilly --- is the first day of summer.

I picked him up from school a little earlier than he expected me to because I wanted to see his class together for the last time, thank his teacher, etc., We ended up walking back home --- takes about an hour -- and he asked me to tell him stories about when I was in elementary school.

It was a nice way to start off the vacation. Naturally, when we arrived home and he realized the television was still on the fritz he complained of being "bored".
