Camping



The annual physicist* camping trip has come and gone and was declared a rousing success. It only rained once, and so for the first time in 6 years of camping, I didn't immediately come home and hang my tent out to dry. The kids are getting older, which means they can play more with each other, and greater numbers of parents can sleep through the night and be (somewhat) well-rested when the kids and birds wake up at 6am. Because of our "one family contributes one communal meal" system, we all ate delicious food. And we got to spend time together, doing math and singing and eating s'mores, which is the most important thing of all.


*We have one adult non-physicist and his biological and technical distinctiveness has been added to our own.**

I love the idea of marshmallow all over math tables.

You had a super break and the weather was kind.
S'mores - bring back happy memories.
