Summer Camp!

On this, Tilda's first day of summer camp, I am awash in thoughts of sibling love, letting go and moving on. What is next for these young girls? What is next for their dad who will now get his first taste of at home parenting phase II: Life with two kids in school?

 

A Walk In The Woods

Most of the activities we do lately are based on Little Bear episodes. Annie is in a bit of a television rut, I guess. Today we went hiking, and I was stoic Owl to Annie's Little Bear. I suppose Tilda was Duck since she thinks every animal on earth makes the same quacking noise.  We set off on Theodore Roosevelt Island, each with a backpack filled to the rim with snacks and water. By the end of the hike--which must have totaled nearly 300 yards--I had two' backpacks stuffed inside mine and a toddler on each hip. Good times.

Ah, nature.

Snack! Or Nack in T vernacular.

Toddler trail running. It's next.

Hmm.
