The kids enjoyed their four weeks at the Rye Nature Center camp this summer.  They also enjoyed its proximity to this gelato place in Rye.

One night we caught some music in Constitution Park after dining al fresco.

Sarah’s birthday present to me was this fun vegetable puzzle!

Blaine was insistent that we try making a dessert called “banana boats” that he’d made at camp.  You slice the banana length-wise and put chocolate chips on it, then wrap it in foil and cook it over a fire (or in our case a grill).  Yum!

The kids did another fencing trial session at a place in White Plains.

It was not as impressive as the one in Port Chester (Tim Morehouse).  They decided they’d like to sign up for fencing camp for the week before we were going to Martha’s Vineyard.  Here they are post-camp with their medals.  It was a pretty cool camp, one day I was a bit early and got to see Sarah in her full outfit, with electronic scoring, winning a bout against a much larger kid.  The coach she was with had just competed in the Olympics!
