Gigantic June Update

We made it to Salem Willows early in the season this year.  

Old flip movies, good parenting.

Hockey with dad.

Jack enjoyed playing some games and winning tickets.

Checking out the newly opened pier.

Jack and I joined his school in marching in the Pride Parade in Boston.  It was a lot of standing around waiting and then a long walk.  Jack was a trooper and was proud of his new walking distance record of 3.5 miles.  

Jack successfully completed first grade and participated in the end of year performance of the Lion King with the rest of his class.  

That's Jack, second in from the left, in his self-made monkey costume.

Celebratory donut at Kanes after the performance.

Then there was a fishing event at Endicott Park for Father's Day.

Time in the sand at the local beach,

At the end of the month, we made the yearly pilgrimage up to Maine for family weekend.

The Maine Diner apparently has new owners, and now the pancakes are even bigger.

We went and dug for gems.

It was a lot of work.

 But we found some cool specimens.  (See ziploc bag full in Jack's hand.)

Round one of the first s'mores of the season.

Next day, wood stacking to prepare for round two.

 Round two, with newly installed heat shield and stick rest.
