Chloe received some surprise certificates in the mail today from Camp Cayuga. She won three awards for:
Loving the roller coasters at Hershey Park!

Sophie, Ballerina
The quality of the video is awful, but if you look closely enough, you can make out Sophie’s shadow. Interestingly enough, Sophie loves to dance. She loves pink. But she has no desire to wear tutus. So I don’t think ballet is in her future, even though I’m convinced there’s a little Mikhail Baryshnikov aching to escape from her little 4-year old body.
Pink Panther!
Sophie loves to watch the old “Pink Panther” cartoons. Loves them. They are all short – no more than six minutes or so apiece. And she’ll watch a bunch of them at once.
Vacation Prep
In anticipation of our trip to Hilton Head next week, Papa decided that cleaning the inside of the minivan was of the utmost importance. He recruited the girls to work and together they put in almost two hours vacuuming, hosing down the car mats and scrubbing the car’s interior.
Chloe’s Camp Olympics Chant
Chloe’s home! She gave camp a 9 out of 10. Loved it. Even got asked to the “prom” by an older man. He was 10. She thinks his friend put him up to it.
Letter #6
We pick Chloe up from camp tomorrow. Those 12 days went awfully fast. I can’t wait to see her.
Sophie the Housekeeper
Sophie asked Papa for $5 today. She likes the fact that the ‘5’ is purple. We told her ‘ok’ but she’d have to earn it. She started out this morning by putting her dad’s socks on his feet. She then made her bed, and arranged all of her favorite animals so they could watch fake pillow TV in her room. She helped set the table this evening (although not without some moaning and groaning) and ended her day’s tasks by vacuuming the floor over and over again. Eat your heart out, neat freaks of the world!
Chloe Letters 4 & 5
Sophie!
I love this photo of Sophie in action, running across the playground in Prospect Park, Brooklyn as her Papa chases her. Please take note of her impressive form as she sprints to evade her father.
Our Happy Camper!
There she is with her friend, wearing the hippie peace glasses she thought to bring for the Halloween party. Letter #3:
