....but the orange monkey can tell a different story.
This long weekend we went to the Berkshires to see my family for a couple days then we headed up to the Adirondacks to see some friends. My Mom gave H this cute stuffed lamb, and H happily tossed aside her stuffed orange monkey and now the lamb is H's new BFF. Despite his cheerful exterior, I suspect the monkey is NOT too happy about this.
As always, it was really awesome to get out of this stinky city and breath fresh air and see trees and birds (that aren't scavenging donuts from dumpsters). Our friends had a cabin on a lake in the middle of a dense coniferous forest at the foot of a mountain. We went canoeing and hiking. We made fires and looked at a skyful of stars and decided, beyond any doubt that we want H to be able to breath fresh air and look up and see a skyful of stars and that if, someday she wants to go live in a stinky, crowded city that can be her decision.
