He does like summer school, which he starts soon. He won a reading award this year, too. He read the most books in his class. He also got Es (exceeding the standard) in PE and Music.
5/24/19-6/2/19 We went to Alaska! We went on a cruise in Seward and saw a lot of wildlife, but it was raining. Nathan and I fed puffins in Seward. We took a dog sled ride (not in snow), got to hold some of the puppies and interacted with their husky Georgia who took a liking to me. It rained that day, too. We walked with and petted reindeer, including young ones. We went gold panning. We met Santa at the north pole. We spent a couple of rain-free days at Denali National Park so we got to see Denali mountain out of the clouds. The last day I did a glacier wildlife cruise out of Valdez while the boys drove around looking for bears. I got to see sea otters, seals/sea lions, mountain goats, orcas, puffins and even a bald eagle sitting on a big iceberg. We've seen moose, mountain goats, caribou, eagles, seals/sea lions, etc... together on this trip. I could have done without so much rain, but still a wonderful trip.
Nathan started summer school on 6/3/19! They had to cancel STEAM kids so we put him in Minecraft for the first session.
6/12/19 - Proud of my little man! We just got his AzMERIT results. He is at the highest level for both ELA (English Language Arts) and Math.

Then we did our picnic lunch at the Maritime Museum on one of the boats. We could have watched the fireworks from there, but we walked to the end of the pier and watched from there. The next day we went to the beach on Coronado. We first went to the dog beach, but when one of the dogs peed on Nathan's sand creation we moved further down the beach where dogs aren't allowed! The next day the boys went back to the beach by Hotel del Coronado while I went to San Diego Zoo. Nathan found 5 sand dollars! Our last day we went to church at Shadow Mountain Community Church to hear Dr David Jeremiah preach.
