Throwback Week

It's the end of school vacation week here in the great state of MA.  It can be a hard week.  Usually, it's still pretty cold.  It may snow a lot.  In Duxbury, a lot of families go on some vacation.  So if you enact a stay-cation, like we did, you really have to try hard to occupy the kids.  Well, this week went exceedingly well.
     The weather was warm.  There was no snow.  Even though many kids were on vacation, the neighborhood kids were around.  They played manhunt and flashlight tag until well after dark.  It was like the old summer days growing up in this neighborhood.  20 kids of all ages would be running around until the dinner bell rang.  Then it was a quick dinner and back out.  The whole neighborhood was "in-bounds."  It was so nostalgic, I gave the boys dinner in a cup one night, so they could still play the game.  Sure the boys still asked for some XBOX time but it was minimal.
