Within a day of moving in we had our first gang of visitors! Truth be told they had arrived a couple days earlier and did us the favor of waiting while we moved from one place to the next. But by our second night at the new location we had friends from out of town. How cool is that! Unfortunately the pictures above, though somewhat indicative of the fun that was had, are limited. Put part of that was because we're getting places! The top picture is one from our sunset beach visit, filled with little games of "avoid the next wave" and watching the sun set. The lower picture is a short visit to our girls' favorite spot at school. The tour would not have been complete without a picture at the location of the world famous Crocodile game*. It was obvious that we're starting to get our bearings here and we seem to need electronic devices to get places less and less and rely on memory or intuition just a bit more. Stetson and Cecilia, visitors from our Malaysian chapter, were the perfect guests... just enough low maintenance and just enough "we'll do whatever you want", allowing us to deal with life just so... Thank you for the visit and certainly looking forward to more of that kind of reconnections!
PS. *Crocodile Game rules:
- One person is it.
- Other people can stand on the little round "things" in the picture
- The "it" person has to close his/her eyes and then spin around several times before trying to move to the play area, still with eyes closed.
- The other players can move around that area to get away from the crocodile but are not allowed to touch the floor.
- The first person to either touch the floor or who is tagged by the crocodile is "it" the next round.
PPS. Stetson, to avoid being tagged, claimed all the way on top of the overhead horizontal bar. In our extensive research we found no rule indicating if this behavior was legal or not. :-)
