Jacuzzi and Naw-Naw Fingers

Ben (still) has this obsession with his two left hand fingers (index and middle), putting them upside down in his mouth while he plays with a tag (aka "Naw Naw"). Nowadays, he usually only does it when he's tired.

XMas night, Jamie and the kids went over to the Holiday Inn where YaYa and BaPa were staying to use the jacuzzi. When they returned, Ben asked:

Mommy, after you go to the pool, and you put your fingers in your mouth, is it good for you?

(Wondering if the chlorine taste on his fingers was ok for him)

Aztecs at Camp Marston

Had a great weekend with Connor and the Aztecs at Camp Marston (Julian, CA). The highlights:

• Rock Wall Climb - Connor made it to the top! Wow! Unbelievable determination, based on picture time stamps, he was on that wall for 25 minutes. Brookie passed him to the top and they had a chat when he was coming back down. "Did you make it to the top?" "Ya, it was easy".
• BB guns - Connor was a sharp shooter, with a handful of buls-eyes. Of course he only moved the target on the cable downrange about 15 feet :)
• GA GA -- new game "arena" they built by the rock wall. Check it out. Boys were in the ga-ga pit all day long, opting for that over other activities. Even us dads got into the mix occasionally. (Now back at the homeland, us Aztec dads are looking into the possibility of building a Ga Ga pit at Pacific Rim)
