After a batterbread breakfast after the 6:45 oatmeal breakfast archer took off the dishes and Mary Tighe and Alice washed them. I feel after this we have tried to do our parts.
Next on the activity list was picking blueberries which were not exactly prolific. So we came back to the cove and commenced on tubing. Mary and I went first and enjoyed the ride until Mary started dry heaving on me. We ubruptly signaled to Hugh to stop the ride so Mary could get off before she threw up. Then Katharine and I tubed, then Archer, then jack and archer and then Mary Tighe who said she likes to go slow. It was so fun!
Dad did a great job babysitting Dolly, Alice, Mary Tighe, Hugh and Will. Alice had to go potty and then there was a jail break from the cats (as Bumpson calls the twins because of their distinctive cry.) The escape was no reflection of Boo Dads talent for babysitting though and they even made up a song called Boo Dad to the Rescue while in Breezewood.
After a long nap, the children swam some more, Hugh and Katharine worked on their 2,000 piece puzzle, and we all got ready for a feast of beef tenderloin, beets, beet tos, corn and Boston cream pie. Hugh will have to take a meal of steak and cake tomorrow on the bus, but it might get messy.
Archer, the general manager of the children, had the hard job of organizing the show for evening, which was an army vehicle quiz by archer and a whistling show by jack. Mary Tighe wanted to do her princess slideshow but lost one of her disks.
Finally it was a read aloud and bed. Phew what a day of emotion, energy and fun! I will really miss Hugh when he goes tomorrow and so will the children.
I miss David, but appreciate his hard work at home.
