Three's Company
A wonderful coincidence came when we discovered that the people that were next door were from Colorado and one of them, Emily, had a little girl named Violet and her friend had a little boy named Jake. The kids were just the same age as Hannah, and they hit it off right away. I called them "three's company". They loved to play "frog" at the edge of the lake. This consisted of them jump up and splashing down in a sitting position in the water, over and over. They also built a network of castles (With some help from me!) around on the beach. Hannah had a great time with a set of friends her own age. I think it also was fun for both Violet and Jake. Jake was a little shy of the water at the beginning of the week, but loved the water by the end of their stay! For me, as a parent, it was also very relaxing to have more latitude with my kids. I did not have to have them on a short leash like I usually do at the store. The space and setting makes is conducive for the kids finding creative play that doesn't tear apart the clean room I just finished!
