Beach Vacation
No beach house this time.  This time we just went up as a threesome and stayed in the Holiday Inn Express. 

Lots of swimming, pizza, sand crabs, frolicking in the waves, and sand castles.

Pool
Our goal of getting friends to join the pool was realized, with 3 neighborhood families joining and a few others dropping in occasionally.

However, it wasn't terribly hot, so Dad only got a few visits.  Maddie got to go a bunch of times, including with her nannies.
Summer School
Maddie had art class for a week, then Global Village (exploring several countries' cultures), then Animal Explorer or some such.
Two-Wheeler
Still unable to ride a two-wheeler.  Lots of conflict during the practice sessions.  Capable but terrified.
County Fair
Maddie won a few more ribbons at the County Fair.  Nothing big-- she's in the 7-12 age group, where the cometition's fierce.  But a couple of honorable mentions and a third place for her artwork, which ain't bad considering the competition.
