Drenched at Down Camp

Posted on 24. Jul, 2008 by Karen in Misc

It’s Day 2 of gray days at Down Camp.  Lots of rain, storms and thunder today.  So we’ve all been lazying around the house watching the storms move through.  Although I’m wishing for sun so we can get a couple of beach days in, Down Camp is as beautiful a place in the the rain as it is on a sunny day.  When the tide’s out, you can walk way out past that furthest clump of eel grass.   

 

 

 

 

We did have some excitement here today besides the storm.  The Peanut learned how to tie shoes today.  She has this fake shoe thing with a lace through it to practice on.  When we got here, I thought the shoe tie gizmo was some kind of kinky mouse pad.  I confess I had my eye on it because I forgot mine.  But there were better uses for it and here’s the Peanut with her first shoelace success.

Yeah Peanut!!

    Congrats to the Peanut!
    Do kids shoes even have laces any more?
    It’s like trying to teach a kid how to tell time, when all there are around you is digital clocks!

    We had some of the same and ended up on the front porch (covered thank goodness!) watching a great storm come across the lake. Hope you get some beach time before you leave.

    And check this out and let’s talk about it when you get back. Just read about The Transition Network and see:

    Margaret–good point on the laces. Now that I think about it, all the Peanut’s shoes have velcro closings. Are laces a thing of the past? By the way, we working on teaching the Peanut how to tell time on an analog clock :-) Someone has to keep these old skills alive.

    Ann–we got 2 great beach days at the end of the week and had great fun. I did check out Transition Network–very interesting.
