I decided to take the kids camping today. We are going to Krause Springs, its just around the corner from here and has a couple of nice swimming holes and a rope swing. Maybe just one night, but possibly two, we will see.
We hung at the house for most of the day and then we went for a few hours on the boat with the Schwitters, always a good time. They then watched Jake and Marie for a few hours so Bill and I could check out the craziness called AquaPalooza, there were a few thousand boats, the aucoustics of a floating stage are not optimal, and the ride was really bumpy, but it was definitely a site to see.
Marie has a little bird named Chickey that she loves. Two nights ago when she put him to bed, she put him in a drawer, when she got up in the morning he wasn't in the drawer. Marie has really been perplexed by this. She had two theories, he either came to life while she was sleeping or she sleep walked. She drew a storyboard of pictures of both these scenarios. Then she decided to test her theory about Chickey coming to life, she placed Chickey very carefully in the kitchen on the ventahood above the stove, looking out at the room before we left for the boat. When we came back from the boat, she went right to the ventahood and he hadn't moved. She said he didn't come to life and now she thinks for certain she sleep walked. I have no idea how Chickey moved, I think Marie did it, when she woke up in the morning half asleep. Regardless, I love that she came up with two hypothesis and tested one of them, she has the other experiment for sleep walking set up for last night and she is still sleeping.
Happy Sunday!
