Tennis, Graduation and Kids off for the Summer - oh joy...!
Tennis at another country club last weekend.
Not as sophisticated as some of the Clubs that Timothy has played at, but certainly prettier than some of the faceless schools he has played tornaments at.

Tim played in the Saturday afternoon evening. He won one the first match and lost the second That meant no match on Sunday morning, a lay in possible for a change at the weekend.
I lost it with some kids driving around in a golf cart in the evening.
These kids were driving fast down narrow pathways, doing 'donuts' (spinning round in circles, not eating them), in the car park. They nearly toppled the cart over at one point. That didn't specifically bother me in fact I'd have enjoyed watching that happen, and it would have been a great Photo entry in the blog but, it was not to be. A couple of times they were driving too fast and nearly hit me, and a few other people.
When they nearly ran Timothy down after his second match, I just had to let them know how I felt, and there was one of the Managers in earshot. Often better to let things out I think rather than bottle up emotions. So I did..... " You bloody idiot, you nearly hit my son, do I need to report you to someone before you start driving carefully , you've been driving around like an idiot all day, donuts in the car park nearly hitting me several times, when you going to stop when you actually injury someone?" The question was rhetorical I didn't expect and answer.

Hazel restrained me (verbally) from going into the Golf Club to find a manager or someone else to tell, and did hear the boy say that it was the first time he had driven the cart all day.
At that point the word 'Wanker' slipped out of my mouth..

Thats just a great word to use at times like these, especially over here, as not many people hear that word nor understand what it means.
I felt a little better and refrained from following up any more.

Anyway the Club was pretty here are some photos from the grounds.

Mid week and Timothy Graduated from 5th Grade.

An evening of speeches and presentations.

And the next day was the last day of school.






The last day of 5th grade and the beginning of Timothy and Jonathans 100 % time out of school, and potentially home all day...for months...









The Start of the Summer Holidays...

So far been to see " Over the Hedge" at the new 'watch whilst you Eat Movie Theater' round the corner from us. (pizza and beer for me). Hazel had an $8.99 Mudslide that was more like an Avalanche,or Mt. St Helens eruption, than a mudslide you should have seen the size of that thing...

Tennis for Timothy today, as well as him making more home movies with Kaylie next door.
Jonathan took the Jeep and went for a shopping trip for clothes with a friend of his (girl), and its only day one.
He's off to the movies tonight... (different people).

At the beginning of July Hazel takes Timothy to the UK for 5 weeks and Jonathan will go to join them for the last 2 - 3 weeks after he finishes summer school.
I may be travelling with work so will likely not get back to the UK this year.
