The kids were fortunate to be joined by our friends Helen, Mary, Lois, and Lee for a wonderful time. Swimming, soccer, biking, and learning life lessons made the days pass far too quickly.

A special thank you to Ray Bradbury for signing our books! The kids loved Fahrenheit 451. The Hobart Shakespeareans are already counting the days until we return in 2008.
