Kids at Gell House 2017

I had to entertain the kids while Kevin was writing all morning. Despite having a router we no cell connectivity and a very slow nearly non-existent wireless connection.

Eventually, we developed a routine. Their bedroom was in "Suite A" a smaller area divided from the rest of the house with a bedroom, bathroom, and small living area. I started mostly keeping them there except for meals in the big central kitchen. After breakfast, they'd spend a little time in Suite A playing, until I had coffee, read a little and showered. Then I'd take them outside to run around and burn energy. Lunch. And then back outside.

Fancy snack time

Both the house itself, and watching the kids run around outside reminded me of all my trips to Upstate New York (Lewis, NY) as a kid. It's bittersweet.

I finished the puzzle but not too many books this week

Sometime after lunch, Kevin would come back and we'd go explore the Finger Lakes (then he'd go back to work). More on our Finger Lakes explorations in the next post.
