very tired, so this will be short. it has been a busy week of going to anchor bay and point arena to camp, swim, see fireworks and stay up into the wee hours with old friends, as well as a blur of city time with visiting old friends--park visits, eating out with sloppy kids, eating at lolo, drinking at dirty thieves until almost closing. then last night we went to rob hill campground with the same old friends. we were joined by about 30 people many of whom were about waist height or shorter, and camped in the presidio with a fire until about 2 in the morning. the kids were giving each other piggybacks, making witch brews out of bark and leaves and dirt, dancing on the picnic tables, hiding in the raccoon proof food lockers, and wrestling hard like puppies. hawks, flowers, mist, a view of the ocean through eucalyptus trees.
it is good to see so many friendly faces. feeling a little old in the morning, creaky and tired, but happy. we have been with old friends and their kids all week and even though our kids are not growing up together they still seem able to be close. my eldest has been driving us nuts with his show off crazy boy behavior but the kids seem to like it.
their baby time together made some kind of bond, i hope it lasts.
