camp noelle

saturday was perhaps, the perfect day. steve o and often discuss what a day at "our" camp would be like, what combination of activities would we choose for those involved our camp to take part in to make it the best-ever day, in our opinion of course. we like to dream about and organize a day full of our favorite foods and activities. "camp noelle" would go like this:
1. sleep in, just a little bit
2. leisurely breakfast- grapefruit, strawberries and some yummy cereal
3. a bit of yard work, to keep the place looking nice (don't forget i'm a gal who likes to get things done)
4. lunch- kashi pilaf mixed with grape tomatoes, avocados and tuna,- super delicious
5. a mountain bike ride all afternoon with my ladies, at sundance, lots of splendid single track
6. major pool party in the backyard, with every blow up water toy we own, and i think- a few borrowed from the neighbors
7. dinner, yummy thai food with my lovely spouse
8. and even a movie- year of the dog (pretty good, a bit wacky, but that's how we like 'em)
9. baskin robbins- chocolate and peanut butter ice cream...or a chocolate malt
10. some tivoed SNL
so that's how my saturday went down. i loved every minute of it, but especially the part about the mountain bike ride. it was just about the perfect day.

the major pool party...
as well as having the blow-up pool out, two large blow-up rafts were also necessary- i suppose. this one was the "hot tub". it was made hot by filling up buckets and tubs, (probably bowls and cups too) with hot water from the kitchen sink, then sloshed in numerous trips through the house, across the carpet and finally into the rubber-hot tub-raft. as we know, rules are different when daddies are in charge.
