My life is over in THREE…
TWO…
ONE!
The boy is climbing. I guess that fall from the bed onto the hard wood floor at Cama Beach wasn’t enough of a lesson/concussion. He is taking off!

Goggles
Our resident goggle expert says that goggles are useful for four activities:
1. Swimming
2. Chemistry-ing
3. Jet-packing
4. Driving a bi-plane
Cama Beach
Here are the photos I took from our week of cabin camping. We left a day early because we didn’t get good sleep. Also you really can’t put a baby down at the beach. So we were just exhausted, but the kids had a super awesome time and met some new friends. Interestingly, the friends Elliot clicked the most with also have ADHD. Here are photos of the kids making wooden boats.
Here is Trav with a baby bear.
Stuart had an orange slice. Yum!
Between the hours of pre-dawn to when most people wake up, Stuart woke up and crawled around in the cabin.
Trav is also an early riser and likes to do gymnastics before dawn. Here is a front support.
With ninja face.
Elliot holding Stuart. Yes it was a little chilly. We needed more than one fleece.
Finally on the last morning, the boys played on this big driftwood club house. Super fun!
Yes, the beach is made out of rocks. Also there was a burn ban most of the time we were there even though it rained three days. So instead of making s’mores over a fire, some moms made s’more quesadillas and the kids watched outdoor movies.
Overheard
Here are some random things the kids have said… I may or may not have posted them here already.
Trav: Playing is freedom in not having to follow rules.
Elliot: Was it a movie or on the stage?
Trav: A brother is a friend who lives in your house.
Trav: If you believe in yourself, you can do anything. And that includes holding up a snake axe.
Trav: Mom, will the baby be born on the hard surface or on the carpet?
Elliot: Mom, this Christmas tree is splendid!
Elliot: I didn’t wear a jacket and I wasn’t cold, not even a tink! I was zero legs cold.
Elliot: When a balloon hits a thorn on Jupiter, it will pop and fall back down to Earth.
Elliot: My dad makes computer games.
Anthony: My dad makes money.
Elliot: I don’t need a dance class. I already know some wacky moves.
Elliot: God has the whole world in his hands. And all the trees and all the cars and all the steering wheels!
Georgia: Well, we have the steering wheels in *our* hands.
Elliot: That’s why me and Trav have friendship.
Trav: I pume’d you. Now ya dead!
Elliot: I’m going to be a train conductor when I grow up.
Trav: And I’ll be the freight!
Elliot: I’m going to sing Old McDonald Had a Farm.
Trav: I’m going to spit!
(Handing me a feather) Elliot: Mom, can you hold this piece of nature for me?
Elliot: Trav, we’re best friends, right?
Trav: yes
Elliot: okay!
Elliot: I didn’t know these juice boxes were shaped like rectangular prisms!
Elliot: Monster trucks are always funny, especially when they slip on banana peels.
Elliot: I’ve never seen a sculpture before, and I’ve never said the word “sculpture.”
Trav: You get what you get and you don’t get umsep.
Elliot: That pizza is the shape of a full moon!
Elliot: Mom, you made me the wrong thing for dinner. I know why Trav doesn’t want to eat his dinner. Because it’s yocky!
Elliot: Look at this beautiful view from Earth!
