Day Nine: Watkins Glen, NY 8/6/12

In the morning the kids checked out the huge bouncy pillow and we did a bit of exploring. Then Sarah and Hugh arrived and the kids played and played and played. We had lunch and then the kids swam and played and played. After a s'mores snack, the Chandler cousins took off. We cooked up chicken, potatoes, carrots and later apples and cinnamon in foil packets for dinner.

It was time to bathe. The kids, especially Danny were beginning to look like wild creatures abandoned in the woods at birth. We promised they could watch the movie after showers. Poor tired Danny had a meltdown of epic proportions and finally passed out before he could even shower. He slept for 13 hours that night without even moving.

Grace and I watched a chilly movie under the trees and then walked home marveling at the stars shining so brightly.
