Jack and I write to you today from the porch of the little cottage. Barb is rigging her sailboat and there are a couple of kayaks rounding the point. The cove is still and sunny and all is well here at Farley's..
Jack is loving his trip to the point so far. One of the best things about this place, in his opinion, is the large collection of bikes that have been amassed at the yellow cottage, for his cousins. The bikes are slowly migrating across to our yard as Jack pics new favorites. He like to sit on them and practice climbing on and off. He knows to put his feet on the pedals but does not yet have the concept of pushing them around. Pedaling, and indeed moving at all on the bikes seems to be irrelevant to him. He loves just visiting with them. He has learned to push them to the side of the road when there is a car coming, and now pretends that there are "Carsh comeen" just for fun.
He has also been exposed to a large number of watercraft. As of day 3 of our stay, Jack has been out on the lake in a canoe, 2 different kayaks, and 2 motorboats. He's watched daddy waterski and get gas for the boat. He loves, let me repeat LOVES, to drive the boat. He's learning the ropes we getting sunscreen applied and a lifejacket on before we head out, as he simply adores all of the boats. He is a great passenger, sitting very still and investigating both the scenery and the interior workings of the boat as we go.
So far we have gone on one day trip to Ithaca, had 2 dinners with Uncle Randy, Aunt Amy, and the cousins, engaged in numerous conversations in the front lawn with fellow Farley's residents, and played at the playground 1-3 times daily. I have gone on a run all 3 days and have, at current count, made 5 scrapbook pages. It's shaping up to be a pretty nice vacation! Pics to follow soon!
