Camping

The kids got their first taste of RV camping this weekend in Connecticut. I think they liked it.

We swam, we took walks. They played, made new friends, threw a frisbee. There was so much to do, especially given the lack of any consistent wi-fi connection! At night, we went to a dance party (Lucia likes to dance two ways--on her own, and also in my arms when I am dancing) and roasted marshmallows over an open fire. In the RV, Celia and Andres each slept in the top bunk--this was a big deal to them--and somehow managed not to fall down in the middle of the night. (I did not sleep well, waiting for a thunk that, miraculously, never came.) It was an enjoyable vacation from our standard vacation, and I think the kids are already looking forward to next year's visit.

Celia loves Andres so much. Here, he forgets to be too cool for it.

MUST. LIFT. ROCKS.

This game seemed appropriate.

Rat-a-Tat Cat has become a favorite pastime.
