on wednesday night, derek surprised me and the lid kids with a getaway to great wolf lodge in concord (charlotte). i was quite nervous at first, since isaac barely likes the pool. or, hates the pool. same thing. and anna is still quite small for water slides and the like. but, we had some backup […]

living room campout
A while back, we set up the tent in the living room in an attempt to check off an item on our summer to-do list. Isaac was excited. He made popcorn with his dad. And we set up camp to watch a movie (rio). After the movie, there was a lot of flopping, flipping and […]

brown’s berry patch
shortly after awakening this morning, i determined that i was taking the lidkids on an adventure. as soon as they woke up, i dressed them and packed and we headed to brown’s berry patch, about 45 minutes north. just shy of lake ontario. we mostly played. we picked zero berries. we didn’t even buy any […]

batavia ny. tuesday.
i’m trying to cram this post in quickly before i head to bed. after a restless night of being eaten alive by mosquitos, i awakened, fed the lidkids breakfast and we headed off to austin park, once home to the dirtiest, diseasiest wading pool in america. or maybe batavia. and i can proudly say, i […]
derek’s last day in town
