We walked for half an hour, Auntie Tanya!
No, no, moms, I did not mention that they walked 12 hours every day when we were at Disney. They had just a normal day at camp yesterday, with the afternoon at the pool. That they walked to, for half an hour! Ayla got a bit of sun on her nose and back, and both girls were pooped at the end of such an ordinary day. Abigail was fully expecting to be able to nap when we got home, but no, off we went to dinner and Mama Mia. Both girls enjoyed to movie and I am waiting for the car ride home tonight to quiz them about the movie and see if they had any questions. Like what the word S-L-U-T meant, for example. It was interesting watching the movie and being aware of 9 and 10 year old ears and what they might pick up on. I figured I would give them the day on their own to discuss the movie amungst themselves before quizzing them. Ralph managed hygiene while I drove Claire home, but when he asked if they were ready for a story, they asked if they could wait for Auntie Tanya. They were obviously concerned that Ralph would not read to them with as much enthusiasm. Ralph, shunned, was watching TV when I got home.

Half an hour! That is a long walk :)
Suntan lotion must be applied 20 minutes before any sun exposure to be effective - so technically they have to put it on before they leave the house - as soon as they wake up...
Auntie Tanya does have a great reading voice ...although I have never heard Uncle Ralph read a story...but I can still understand the girls wanting to hold out until you arrived.
Have better novels been purchased or are you still on Junie B. Jones?
Can't wait to hear all about the African Lion Safari and the picinic at the beach with "alone time strolling"!
Love you and miss you
(Ayla most of all!)
