It's the last day of school. The kids are done with the letters and the numbers and today they hunkered down for a day of play. Despite the not-quite-summer weather, they splashed in the pool and dug into the dirt.

Siblings were invited, so it was fun to watch Shep throw his hat into the ring. He starts the three-year-old class next fall, so this was his entry into the world of school. At the end of summer he'll go to a week of camp with Neko, and then I suspect he'll start in the fall like a seasoned veteran. I'm betting it will be a far different first day than we had with Neko.

Graduation pix and schmaltzy sentiment forthcoming…
