Summer Reading

Grandma Francie and Papa came recently and brought some more good books.  Grandma Francie brought The Odyssey, which I wouldn't have thought to read to the kids, but they love it and we are reading it for the second time.  She also brought the old Hardy Boys books Joe read when he was in elementary school.  I checked these all out from our local library in Earlham, so it was nostalgic to see them again.  We are also working our way through Charlotte's Web and some books from the Magic Tree House series.  AJ is going to a YMCA day camp this summer and one day this week took a Magic Tree House book to camp and his friend, Sam, finished reading him the last three chapters.  I remember loving to spent a whole morning or hot afternoon reading when I was a kid.  One day last week, it looked like this at our house.
