Cousin Camp goes Downtown

We are having a splendid time as Cousin Camp winds down. The girls are gems and I have actually enjoyed having all seven kids today. They were troopers as we walked all over downtown. It's a good thing David came and met us on his lunch break. Seven kids in Powell's Books may have been too much. I think the kids are as tired as I am, but I hope they had as much fun as I did, too. " I guess we won't walk to Walden Pond. 2,500 miles seems pretty far."
"But I thought he was a real man."
"I swear the Internet claimed this was way cooler than it is turning out to be."
"Hooray for Powell's Book Store!"

Please note that Annika insisted on a Chapter book, preferably one with stickers and pictures that she could color. Apparently they don't make that kind of book because if they did Powell's would have it. Sorry Annika!

Sadie really enjoys the Disney Fairy books.

What a fun week! I remember spending time with cousins during the summer, but never thinking to call it "cousin camp" - I like the name, it's catchy.
