This is the second book by this author that I have read and I loved the first book, so I had high hopes for this one. Oy! I somehow made it through the first 200 pages and then it (sort of) started to pick up. Most of the first half of the book is about all of these obscure novels the characters have to read while in college. I don’t think I had heard of any of them or the authors. Finally, FINALLY the story starts to happen during the second half of the book, but by then I didn’t really care.

We are about two weeks into summer break and we are having a great time. The boys have had birthday parties to attend and an end of year baseball party. We’ve celebrated Father’s Day, gone hiking at the Audubon Society where we saw a lot of birds (obviously!), but also salamanders, tadpoles and a lot of wild animals that had been injured and had been brought to the facility for rehabilitation. We have been bowling and the boys started taking a knitting class (they’re making hats!). We’ve made terrariums and started making pinatas. We’ve gone swimming and gone to a couple of violin lessons. We’ve been to the park (a lot!) and played with our neighbors (a lot!). Today we are going to Sky High and later on tonight, starting swim lessons. Here are some pics from our adventures so far this summer.
