oh hey, it's finally summer in here

The next week, school lets out for the summer and James feels as if he has been set free. But it turns out that there is a great deal to do during the summer - Miss Ellis now comes to the house twice a week for piano lessons and Mrs Godwin has suggested James learn how to play, Julia and Aimee and William are all signed up for dance lessons, of all things ("It will teach you grace and balance," Mrs Godwin explains to William, when he kicks up a fuss), and there is tennis and horseback riding and football and walks in the park, and Luisa takes them to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to see the paintings and the blue Egyptian hippopotamus, and to the Natural History Museum to see the dinosaur bones and the exhibits on ways of life in other parts of the world, and to the Bronx Zoological Gardens to see the wild animals, and they are even allowed to go to the movies on occasion.
