It turns out that a surefire way to find yourself exhausted at the end of each day is to hike in the blazing hot sun and then eat plenty of bad food. You will sleep like a dead man.
Thursday morning started off very slow with the adult Kampers doing work-type things, Claire watching Gilmore Girls, and the author sitting under a blanket finishing her huge long epic fantasy novel (not noticing that three hours had gone by when she finally looked up). We went to the burger join Perry's for lunch and then proceded home.
Kim took Claire and I down to the beach to show us something--a bed of sand dollars! Unfortunately tide was high so there weren't many to be seen, but we went back today at low tide and saw thousands out there, piled high and going for yards and yards. It turns out that when sanddollars are alive they're black and coated with a short, fine kind of fur. Most of the ones we saw were orangey and dead, but we took a few home. Claire played with some hermit crabs and we had a contest to see who could find the smallest sanddollar (Bear won).
Thursday evening Kim and I ran errands (imagine me driving the Tahoe with two huge-arge heavy-as-elephants containers of propane in the back--yikes) and we watched rental movies at home. Very excellent.
Friday started off faster because once Kim yelled "bacon" and "waffles" down the stairs everyone was up there faster than Seabiscuit. After wolfing down the excellent meal the chik Kampers went hiking to the beach (which turned out to be slightly stupid; it was blazing hot out and the whole walk back to the car was uphill in sunlight) and played with the sanddollars. Came home to jet off shortly later to go to the mainland for rocking climbing 101.
...which I will write about tomorrow, since I am so tired I could just fall asleep right he

Hi, Kampers,
sounds like a good time had by all. Mom and Dad scaled a mountain today, lured by the promise of an easy hike. I think easy meant that you could get up the mountain without motorized equipment. Daddy has a new computer and it getting it perfectly set up, abandoning the Toshiba to me. xoxxo Mum
