[*I need to point out my, ahem, clever wordplay–while “hexed” usually implies cursed, “hexa” means six, and I had 3 plus 3 kids at the cabin this weekend…usually plus one!]
When Abby joins us at the cabin, Adeline and Sam, shown here, usually tag along. The girls have a cute way of using blankets and scarves to engineer a hammock in the back of the van for the dolls to travel in. When they come down in the morning, the babies are dressed and ready for breakfast.
A highlight of the weekend was taking the kids down to “our” beach. The tide was really low, making it the perfect mucky, sandy, crabby place to treasure hunt.
The Magificent Seven, if “magnificent” meant “muddy”, spread out to explore. I’m sure Keith and Julie can guess who was ready to go back first….
Out of things to do–time to dare each other to go swimming. Make the like a sea lion and dive in!
Of course, that level of activity is exhausting to maintain. Time to watch Netflix AND play Minecraft. If only multitasking went beyond screens….Wesley.
It’s really past time to install an outdoor shower.
But you know what I say–fun can be measured by the height of the bathtub ring-o-grime! This weekend scored quite high.
Did we make s’mores…and turn it into a Goldenest Marshmallow contest? Ha! Of course we did, and with another half dozen neighbors joining us. Piper and Abby loved “babysitting” the 4-year-old twins next door.
Kyla may have taken home Golden S’more Prize.
Neither the purchasing or packing of matching PJs was coordinated, but these two are clearly BFFs for a reason.
I spent the weekend, in addition to kid wrangling, finally setting up automatic watering of my wonderful garden, adding swings, and putting up the lights. It’s practically perfect! More pictures to come.
