Wyatt played trumpet in his first grade school band concert. Christmas activities included quite a bit of baking, the fifth grade holiday boutique, plenty of gifts, and Christmas dinner. After Christmas, Wyatt helped Evan celebrate his birthday, and there were two single day ski trips to Hunter Mountain in the Catskills. Wyatt also got the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine in December.

October of 2021 was a busy month. The travel baseball and modified football seasons continued. There were minimal interruptions due to the pandemic.

At the middle school, many students celebrated Halloween by going to school in costume on the Friday before the big day.

August of 2021 was another busy month. Evan’s travel baseball team played its final tournament of the summer on the New Jersey Shore right on the beach in Wildwood. The family headed to the Shore a couple of days before the tournament to visit some favorite spots in Point Pleasant and Seaside Heights. After the tournament, everyone enjoyed a week at home before returning to Sag Harbor on Long Island. From there, it was off to the Catskills for a few days for some hiking, biking, and fishing. After all those adventures, it was nice to relax at home for a few days before the new school year started on September 1.
