Clint, do the kids get a two week break after each nine weeks of school? My kids start Monday and I don't get students until Wednesday. Puts a crimp in my knapping and bow building time ;)

They have a week off in Oct., 2 weeks off in Dec.-Jan, and a week off in March.  It looks like they are just giving them a longer fall break and Christmas break.  Looking at their schedule they have a few weeks of intersession.  I'm not sure what that is.  I'll have to ask the wife when she wakes up.

With my work schedule, school starting gives me more bow building time.
I started out with nothin' and I still got most of it left

That sounds like a great summer Iowabow.


Tracy, the kids do have two weeks off after every 9 weeks.  They have scheduled every friday in the spring as snow make up days.  If they don't have any snow days, they will have 3 day weekends.

Impressive summer vacation John 8). Clint, I'll probably on that schedule next year, which will be great for fall bowhunting camp and early duck season.

@ Parnell - Usually any invitation we extend is open and standing - not very many take us up on it though. Lots of family around here in Cali and only very few have made the time to stop by.

@ the rest of you PA'ers  - If you happen to find yourself in my area - look me up - If I got time I will be happy to share it with you and show you around my "office"
