Start of June in In the Meadow

We have been continuing to deal with the joys and struggles of adolescence at our place. Aaron has slowly been telling me about the class trip to Washington. I have learned that eighth graders will tell you things on their own schedule. On the last night of the trip they had a dance contest after dinner. Aaron’s social studies teacher won the contest. Aaron talked about the cardboard cutouts of Donald and Melania Trump for picture-taking at souvenir stands around Washington. I told him there were the same cutouts of Ronald and Nancy Reagan when I was in middle school.

Kayla and Timmy have two more weeks of classes. Then they have a week of exams, There is a junior class mass at school next week. We are planning to visit colleges after school ends.
