A few weeks ago, we went up to Jersey to open up the bungalow for the season. It's amazing to think back how far our bungalow improvements have come since we got started - and we still have a LONG way to go. This summer, Phase 2, we're getting a dec built. We also need a new kitchen table and possibly a couch in the living area, as well as some furniture in the guest bedroom. For now, we aren't going to do much in the kid room - might as well wait until they are old enough for real beds, or bunks. My mom got Oliver & Devon cots (similar to what daycares use) and the twins will be in a pack & play.
It was also pretty eye-opening to see how much Oliver has grown - we noticed a difference from the start vs. the end of the season last year, and the change was even more pronounced now. Last year, Oliver was afraid of gravel and I couldn't really help much, as I needed to be within 2ft of him at all times. This year, even though I probably shouldn't have been, I was able to rake leaves and just had to keep him in my line of vision. He was more than content playing with rocks and sticks. Of course, he was happiest driving the old Jeep and tractor that were in the club pavillion - which he visited 4 times over the course of the day. My mom & her friend Ellen came up in the afternoon and had fun with Oliver too! He was in heaven and was talking about being at the bungalow for over a week afterwards. Hopefully, new twins won't keep us from the club this summer.
