On Thursday morning, we packed up and prepared to leave. We had the presence of mind to get some group pictures for once, and the lighting on the porch was perfect (although the backdrop needs improvement).
The kids did pretty well during this stay, but one funny thing was that Simon was completely terrified of the upstairs bunny rabbit doorstops the whole time. His explanation was he didn't like their eyes. He would cling tightly in terror whenever we passed them, so that we had to banish the whole herd to Tener's bedroom (which is also the toy and game storage area, so toy retrievals required bouts of courage and bravery). If Simon woke up in the morning or after a nap and came downstairs all by himself, he would gleefully declare that the bunnies didn't get him. The lush Ohio grasses were abundant with real rabbits, but Simon said he liked the real ones and that their eyes were OK.
