In most families, I suppose, the month of June is celebrated as the long-awaited end to the school year and the start of summer. While that's not completely untrue for us, it must be admitted that an even bigger reason we look forward to June is the annual open house hosted by our local garbage truck drivers at the West L.A. District yards of the Bureau of Sanitation. Garbage trucks are just the start, as all sorts of heavy equipment are on display and the burgers, hot dogs, soda, and chips are all free! (It makes the perennial increase in waste-collection fees a little more palatable. A little.)
In addition to the school year (including Tony's first acting performance), June also saw the culmination of the spring sports season (including the presentation of Everett's first trophy!), scouting, and guitar and ice skating lessons.
We also found time to squeeze in a family outing to the beach and some good quality time on the bikes.
