Great Escape

The kiddos got to spend a couple days a week at great escape day camp and a couple days with Mima/Aunt Ana and all the ‘cousins’

Lots of outings and parks and playgrounds and pools and beaches and farmers market trips!!

Syd with her ‘cute cumbers’ – she always loved to get them at the farmers market and bring them home to share with me
