McHugh

We went out to McHugh to play in the woods and climb on rocks. Here they are getting a treat.

Van said this was his castle.

Crawling on logs

In the yellow coat is Anna, Svea's au pair who just arrived from Denmark on Wednesday night. She'll be staying with the Lunoe's for a year. The kids like her; she is pretending to be the troll for them in this picture.

I thought this picture would be really cute until I got the camera in position and realized Van was licking the handrail. gross.

So in the beginning of this hike, Van had a plastic shark, but he kept putting it down to climb rocks so I was carrying it. I was immediately tired of carrying it, and even though we were on the edge of the parking lot, I hid it under a bridge instead of putting it back in the car.
When we got back to the bridge after the hike, it was gone! Someone had taken it!
Poor Van was so sad and I felt so bad. He wanted to call the police, but instead once we got home Andy, Esther, Van and I all piled in the car, went to the toy store and got him a new shark, this one came with a diver in a diving cage as well. He played with it by himself in the bath for over an hour.
