Last week I posted briefly, a sort of snapshot – literally and figuratively, about our trip to Massachusetts last summer. Today I’m going to do the same thing.
We had rented a house in Salem for 2 weeks and took the red-eye out. The kids were of course exhausted by the time we got there, and it was hot. We didn’t do much that first day at all, and the second day was just sort of… putzing around town. By the third day, however, the kids were getting their internal clocks adjusted to the different time zone and the heat. Well, maybe not really fully adjusted, but at least it wasn’t nearly as much of a shock as it was.
One of the things that helped everybody deal with the heat was the shop a couple of blocks away that sold fruit smoothies. Mango was a popular flavor among our crew.
At the drug store we found a container that would pump water into water balloons and it came with something like 200 water balloons. One day the kids decided to have a water balloon fight. No clear winner was declared.
