Our favorite hike, now well-known by Sam but also enjoyed by Frida:
Another beach:
Inspired by this blog post, I made a rock rainbow:
In addition: Frida ran around naked as much as possible. We ate fried seafood as often as possible. Sam and J. and I watched Star Wars, the original (after which Sam had a hard time sleeping: he arrived at our bedside at around 4:30 or 5AM, saying seriously, "I know it's before I'm supposed to come in your room [we have a not-before-7AM-unless-it's-an-emergency-or-nightmare rule], but I realized I wasn't really getting very much sleep," whereupon he was invited in with us and slept soundly for another few hours). Sam and J. played Battleship (it was at the house we rented); Sam and I played Set (we brought it with us). Frida peed in the potty a few times and ran around naked a bunch more. We serendipitously bumped into a daycare classmate of Frida's, with his older sister (age 5) and grandmother; the grandmother had taken the kids to the Vineyard for the week, to be joined by their parents halfway through. So in addition to hanging out at the nature center where we'd run into them, we met up with all of them on Friday evening for dinner. The kids had a blast, enjoying the kid-company; it's really notable how peer interactions are differently satisfying than adult ones, even for Sam, who's until not so long ago been much more interested in conversations with adults than with peers. And now we're back, hunkered down with batteries and water bottles. The kids and I, weather and Logan's status etc. permitting, are heading to MN on Monday to meet up with my brother and his family at our parents' house. Fingers crossed we can get there!
