Cooper: Today Orrie and I went to CAC (Children's Adventure Camp). I hiked to a waterfall. The water was almost the coldest substance on planet Earth. All of the boys went behind the waterfall; there was a dead bat one of the place that was to hard to reach. We didn't touch because it might have rabies. I went under the waterfall five times everybody thought that was amazing because barely anybody went under. I was freezing after that but once you got the hang of it it wasn't too cold. After that we drove to a park and ate a snack of oranges and granola bars. Then we played on the playground. Then we drove back to camp then I played shuffle board until my parents came to pick me up.
Orrie: Today I got to go to the underground caves. I did the big tunnel a few times but that got boring so I decided to go through the small tunnel. I had to go with a teacher and some other kids because it was hard to see in there because there was no hole for the light to come through. The last tunnel iI went through was tiny and you had to rock climb the last part; what made it even harder was that there was a giant spider in there so you could only climb over the mud part of the wall. Then we hiked back to the buses where we had a snack of burritos and oranges. Then we all got back in the buses and drove home. I had a great day.
Mama: While the boys were getting out in the mountains I went up the hill to the Santa Fe Institute. I have a beautiful view but wasted it on a full day of a tricky referee report. I do NOT want to spend my most productive two weeks of the year knocking off all professional duties! Tomorrow, and all days after, I'm going selfish, focusing on my own research, rather than someone else's. Scottie and I picked up the boys at five-ish and after a much-needed feet & face wash, went off to the Cowgirl, where the boys had their first kid cocktails: OJ, sprite, cranberry, and a dash of grenadine (or, as we said, a grenade, and they'd leave the pin in if the boys were good). Ditto Orrie: it was a great day!
Papa: Today was the first day of the 16th SFI Summer Workshop. The students seem great this year. I'm taking time to appreciate the wonders of Santa Fe -- especially the sunsets. A highlight of the day was having dinner at the Cowgirl, the site of Jenna and my rehearsal dinner.
