Fifteenth Ireland Post: Play

With the beautiful outdoor space around De’s house, and the fantastically sunny weather we’ve been enjoying, playing outside has been a hit with the crew. Nothing elaborate, just those games kids have played since forever.

They love for Dad to play tag with them, and they have a particular tree that has a perfect tent shape, and today since it started lightning as soon as we went outside to play tag, we moved indoors for a rousing game of hide-and-seek. I haven’t played hide-and-seek since Monkey was an only child, so it was a treat for me. We had much laughter and a few heart attacks.
