Travel Pack

Emmaline's favorite toy right now is a little pack of Kleenex, the kind you put in your purse (if you don't have a giant pack of baby wipes instead). No matter what toy she is holding, if she sees that precious Kleenex, she will go for it. She gazes at it lovingly and crunches the wrapper in her hand.

On a totally unrelated note, the men at camp have been building a bath house down in the "Outback" valley, to accommodate tent campers. I took the kids down to watch them work yesterday, and it was probably the best half hour of Ethan's week. Some of the older guys with masonry experience were laying cinder blocks, while the younger guys were running back and forth carrying bucket after bucket of concrete and cement. Ethan was a little scared of the cement mixer at first, and absolutely petrified when Levi started driving the bobcat ("No! Daddy, No!"). But he loved watching the men laying the bricks ("Mo' Mud!") and Levi shoveling pea gravel into the cement mixer. I think it was every little boy's dream.
