Yes, today was the annual Not Back To School Pool Party. It was the first day of public school here and in a very kind way we homeschoolers like to gloat about the fact that we aren't stuck inside an institutional education building on this day that is very much still in the middle of summer. About 100 moms and 300 kids usually attend this giant pool party that's always held on the first day of public school in the middle of the day at one of the few City pools that stays open during the week after the ps school year begins. Unfortunately, the party got rained out in hour 3 - thunder & lightning don't mix well with a pool full of kids. But that's OK, the food had all been eaten by then anyway.
We're starting school next Wednesday, after all of our guests have gone back to their homes.
