max has been out of school for two months now.  so far, i think he has enjoyed his summer.  the first week he was off, he and luke attended a tennis camp arranged by ymca.  they had fun, learned a bit (i think) and enjoyed spending the time together.  the following week was sports camp through santa clara university which was great.  the kids got to try all kinds of sports including the favorites such as baseball, tennis and basketball. the week after that was july 4th week so there were no camps and max spent some time hanging with dad and came with me to work and had a play date or two.  thereafter, he attended two weeks of learning camp held at his school from 9 to 12 every day.  a great time to keep on track with the reading, writing and math while seeing the close buddies.  as of yesterday, we returned home from a two-and a half week vacation in sweden.  just about two more weeks of summer for our guy and then..he will become a 1st grader!  unbelievable.
