The kids and I had a great time this week at a playgroup at our friend’s orchard – apple picking complete with hayride! We also got to pick strawberries IN OCTOBER, which was amazing. We tried to save some for Daddy, but somehow they all got gobbled up between the strawberry field and the end of the hayride. Later that day, we drove down to Port Jervis to meet Erica’s friend and former colleague from Eldred, “Tia Linda” Pomes (“Aunt Linda” in Spanish which is what she teaches). We had fun together at the cool ice cream shop, catching up over yummy treats.
Quinn just completed her first set of Total Immersion swim lessons ( http://www.totalimmersion.net ) and true to her Pisces sign, she’s a little fish. Nothing seems to phase her, even the underwater head dips. Erica’s saving up to enroll her for another series of classes.
Declan’s continuing to practice his logic. For example, something will come up about deer, and he’ll say, “Deer don’t bite.” And I say, “Well, they might bite if they’re afraid of you, but usually they just run off, first.” Then he says, “Yeah, they run away. They don’t bite you when they run away.” I’m like, well, um, I guess. Sure.
