Actually, Nichole participating in the Summer Road Trip took up almost all our summer not spent volunteering, indoor, outdoors and on the road! In fact, we are incredibly proud of Nichole right now. The official winners in three age groups will not be known until next month, but Nichole read over 100 books in the Summer Road Trip contest. We know from the blog that over 350 kids read over 800 books this summer, so that means Nichole read over 1/8 of the total read! We are *so* proud of her and her love of reading! Whether she came in first or second doesn't matter, she had a ball reading as much as she could. Thank you for everyone who helped us as we scrambled to find enough for her to read that fit the guidelines. :-) Valerie On Aug 18, 2010, at 11:26 PM, Cindy wrote: > I guess everyone is too busy having fun outdoors this summer.
