Don't Let the Light Go Out

Sorry for the wait, folks. Here's what we've been up to:


The boys and I visit the house I grew up in (ages 9-17)

















I take a photograph in the same spot of the same subject that I took 25 years ago:

















We find big leaves in a nearby park where I used to play:
































We play in the park itself:

















We discover a tree that looks like it has camouflage bark:

















We discover that the housekeeping staff at our hotel likes the boys' stuffed animals:

















We celebrate the first night of Chanukah:

















We celebrate the second night of Chanukah (note that the boys have had haircuts):

















Mom/Blue Grandma feels well enough to take a walk around the duck pond, where the boys see a tree unlike anything they've ever seen before:

















We celebrate the third night of Chanukah:
















And now we wait to see what tomorrow brings.
