The place hasn't changed a bit. Well, except for the Ga Ga pit. Did you know I worked there one summer as the cook? My husband didn't, but he just must not have been listening. Collin has been so excited to spend the week there. He hopes it will be the first of many summers to come. I wasn't prepared for how choked up I felt when it was time to say good bye. It was Kindergarten all over again. Except he was so excited. I should have brought the camera to capture his giant grin. I only had one day to fit in an entire week of mothering, but he didn't let me bother him one bit. I was also worried about how his sisters would do with out the ring leader. He chooses the entertainment, but they were just fine without their tour guide. In fact, McKell was being really bossy. When I scolded her she told me that she was taking over the part as oldest child.
Don't tell him that I said so, but three was so much easier than four, even when the fourth is nine years old. We made our plans with outings to the park and I didn't have to worry about whether or not what we were doing was what he wanted to do. We still didn't get everything done that we had planned to do, but there is more summer left.
We were excited to go to camp on Thursday and see him. He said he had forgotten what we look like. I was shocked to see him walking barefoot in the forest. His shoes got wet chasing snakes. I made him wear his water socks. This is the shelter he and the boys built.
I love the look on Emma's face. Boy does she want those flowers Hana is holding.
This is my flower picker.
