Jacob doesn't get very excited about most things. After a fun day of playing or going to the park, etc., we'll ask everyone, "Was that fun, guys?" Eleni will exclaim, "Yeeesss!!!" Lydia dutifully replies, "Yeah!" Gabe repeats what everyone else says, and then Jacob calmly says, "Well, not
that fun . . ."
But now we have found something that is "SO FUN!" Jacob came home from playing with Seth and Eleni in the nearby river and didn't stop talking about it for two days. "I
loved swimming in the river with Daddy." "Did you know I went in the deep part all by myself?" "I wish we could go to the river again--it was the funnest place ever!" So of course Seth was anxious to repeat the fun trip and this time they took Lydia with them.
But Eleni decided she couldn't go in the water this time; it was too murky. She sat in the mud and threw rocks; hence the sandy bottom. Gabe is way too dangerous, so he and I came to pick the kids up. He took off down the bike trail, which is frequented by lots of swift bikers--all the kids felt they needed to go to the rescue . . .
. . . which didn't please Gabe too much!
This one is of Jacob & Eleni inspecting their shadows--too cute to pass up. Poor kids have their mom's knock knees . . .
