Then it was time to swim and play at the beach! It would alternate all day between getting dark and having a sprinkling of rain, then the sun would pop out for a few minutes, then it would get dark again and drizzle. But it was manageable.
We enjoyed our beach that was mostly ours, but the neighboring campsites could also use it. Right around naptime on Saturday, a family moved into the site next to ours, bringing a few kids and speed boat. The family was nice, but our pristine view and private cove were compromised by their boat sitting in it.
Simon was delighted that we had a fire. His favorite thing to do is throw things into it to make the sparks fly up in the air. He spend all evening hopping and buzzing around the forest gathering bit of wood to chuck into the fire. He did this even once it was pitch black and we had to put a headlamp on him.
That night, we got out the glow sticks and Alice made two necklaces out of them. Simon figured out he could roll his glowstick loop into the woods in the dark and then chase it. This kid is seriously not afraid of the dark woods at night!
