Katherine is ready to go to canoeing camp here. She pronounced the camp her least favorite, but she did learn to lift and carry a canoe, paddle, and recover from tipping over. They took water samples and learned about river ecosystems, which she thought was cool. She also regaled her family at supper with tidbits such as: "If you canoe under trees in southwest Georgia, snakes might get scared, and then they'll fall out of the trees and you'll have to flip over your canoe." I'll keep that in mind!
July 21 was, of course, Harry Potter Day. Gregory graciously let Katherine read HP7 first, since this was the first time she was waiting as anxiously as he was for the new book. It arrived at about 1:30 pm and she read until 11:30 pm, stopping only long enough to eat supper. Then she carefully avoided giving away any details about the plot.
Gregory got it next, reading in spurts on Sunday and getting up early Monday to finish. Then they both waited for me to read it so we could talk freely without worrying about spoilers. We all decided it was a terrific story, but I'll say no more in case any of you are reading the series yourselves.
