Second Stop on My Vacation – Hanging Out With The Nieces and Nephews
I have 2 nieces and 2 nephews – ages 7. 5. 3, and 11 months. Needless to say, it was quite an experience spending a week with them. I got to listen to such conversations as:
“Why is your brother crying?” (this is my sister).
“He was pinching me.”
“So you pinched him back.”
“NO! I did NOT pinch him back. I punched him.”
Sometimes it’s all you can do to keep from laughing. (Especially when you know you really shouldn’t be laughing.)
Unfortunately Maryland was excessively hot the week I was there. It was over a hundred and humid, but little rain. (Where my sister lived they were in a drought. Everything was dry and yellow.) It was actually hotter there than where I live, in Prescott, Arizona. (I live in the mountains so it’s not nearly as hot as Phoenix. Plus it’s very dry.)
So it was tough knowing what to do with all those kids since spending time outside was physically draining. We ended up doing a lot of “indoor” stuff, like reading and playing games (and a lot of Thomas the Train). They all love books and being read to, which just warms a writers’ heart. But, when they weren’t reading, well let’s just say it had a tendency to get a bit noisy.
