69, 70, 71, 72....

This is what Monkey woke up at 6:30am to do, dressed and ready to go. Yesterday (his first half day of freedom) he mastered the pogo stick (which is a cool way to start the summer I think). Now he cannot get enough of it despite the bitten tongue and the scraped shins. He normally wakes at 8am OR LATER if he could have his way, so you know this is important stuff. I had to break the news to him that pogo sticking cannot commence until after 8:30am (or later if the neighbors could weigh in).

Please note the attire...yes it is THAT COLD on June 19th to have to wear long pants and long shirt probably all day...this is not the summer weather I knew as a child.
