yesterday, B kept saying "mom i'm going to pretend Ponca".
you can only imagine how fun it is for a 3 year old (the rest of us really enjoy it too) but for a kid, the dirt slide, (2nd) cousins/uncle joe to play with, hikes, snacks, & everyone doting on him. it is just non-stop fun! if you ask him what his favorite part was, he says "every part. except the coconut oil" (chapped lips/skin = bed time slathering of coconut oil.)
