At some point the twins learned how to put pencil to paper. We didn't teach them. Maybe Andrea did. Who knows. But the other day in church, they took crayons and just started coloring. Right now however, they also want to eat the crayons. So to fix this problem, we got them this MagnaDoodle boards which do not involve pens or crayons or anything that could potentially get a little out of control with them. They LOVE them!

A Jam Packed Day
This morning we all woke up rested and ready to start the day. We heard rain was on the way, so we got an early start. We ate at the Reef Cafe, a little buffet place on the resort that overlooks the pool and golf course. It was very quiet since not that many people were up yet. The twins got a compliment from a couple who noted how well behaved they were.
After breakfast it was off to CCSC, my old camp. I went here from when I was 12-16. It was (still is) a great camp and there were a lot of memories revisited during this visit.
In the dining hall is a plaque made by each unit with the campers names on it for each year. I was happy to see they still had mine from almost 20 years ago! Check out Julie Scarpa's (high school buddy-and the friend who sang at my wedding for those of you who were there) name next to mine. Julie introduced me to this camp in 5th grade.
We visited the riflery range. Many of you might not know but I was extremely good at riflery... reached the second highest award level the camp offered.
The weatherman said that there would be about three-four hours of a break between storms, so the minute it stopped we were up and out on the bike path.
As you can see behind me, the trails go on for ever. We biked for almost an hour. It was a great day.

Kids on the Cape!
Felix and I decided to hit the road with the twins and take them for a quick trip up to Cape Cod. Both Felix and I are home all summer and after a while the pool, story time at the library and the Children's Museum gets old. So we decided we needed a change of scenery. So we booked a hotel and loaded up the kids after church and off we went. The place we booked is actually a resort. We got a good deal since it was last minute and we didn't get to pick the type of room. It was called "Run of the House" which meant that they would give us what was available when we arrived. We were a little wary, but check it out....this is the outside of our "villa". This townhouse includes four units.
Liliana was exploring and when she opened this door we found out that we had a washer and dryer...go figure!
After marvelling in what our flexibility in time got us, we were hungry and decided to go out to eat. We went to the Hearth and Kettle. I have fond memories of going here with my family when I went to camp up here and they would come to visit. And when we walked in, it was like nothing had changed...
Once back at the room we decided to go for a swim. Found out that I forgot Liliana's swim suit, so she wore one of Lucas' with her swim shirt...
They kids had a ball in the pool and while they protested bed for a little while, it was a losing battle and they are out like a light.
Tomorrow it is off to camp and bike riding on the bikepath!
