Vacation 3

Hi Sidra,

After a couple of days in Brookline we headed to Long Lake in Maine as guests of your uncle David's family. We stayed right on the lake with the Thompsens, Tante Debbie and later uncle Ben. As it turns out you said that this was your favorite part of the vacation. In our conversation it was a little tough to suss out what exactly was your favorite thing. You seemed settled on the general term, 'the lake.' We tried to ask you if it was the swimming, the tubing, the kayaking, the jumping off the dock or the trampoline. You liked all those things (although you were sure that the kayaking wasn't at the top of the list) but curiously left Dance Party off the list-sorry Mike and Sara!
You were a great lake guest, pouring all your energy into each activity. We stayed for about 5 days and at least twice you were collapsed into a nap by mid afternoon. Once you slept about 2 hours on a bony deck chair.
You also got along quite well with your cousin Grace and your new friend Mike who agreed to play dolls with you. He did also engage you in a dance party. You worked him pretty hard and he had to draw Sara into the contest so he could rest a little.
Your mom got a chance to show off for you on our last day at the lake. Uncle David showed up pretty early because of the calm water to offer her a chance at water skiing. She took the chance to show you she could get up on one ski and made it look pretty easy.


The hard part was getting the video while holding Shira.

Love, Aba
