We picked up two very dirty, happy and tired kids Saturday morning who were pleased to sleep in their own beds last night. As I noted in a FB post, Ethan said in the car on the way home: "First thing when I get home, I'm going right upstairs to the bathroom for a decent pee, a decent poop and a decent shower." Who knew I was raising such a decent kid? With the cool & rainy weather yesterday it was nice just to spend the day relaxing with the kids, playing games and doing laundry. Oscar was also very happy to see his Red House pals back once again administered plenty of fresh licks even with (or maybe because?) a layer of camp grime.
Although both kids said camp food was good, I went all out for Saturday night dinner with goods from both our CSA share and my garden. Scout thought the meal lacked focus (a central, main dish) but I said the focus was the many fresh summer veggies. On the table: Sliced tomatoes (first Brandywine, yum!) w/ fresh mozzarella; sweet corn, sauteed green & yellow summer squash and a green bean salad (toasted walnuts, olive oil & lemon juice and a sprinkle of parm cheese). I know I'll look back on these pictures longingly come February. (Notice the product placement for the Newcastle...I get a small payment every time I mention or show a bottle...I know, I know, but it helps to offset the cost of the blog.)
