epic art, and a return to the rope swing

Dante has been going to art camp this week right here in East Hampton. He's learned some theater games, as well as how to identify stage right, up center, and other stage positions. He also dipped beeswax candles, painted a coat rack, did thumbprint art, made an ornament, made a cool magnet guy, made a drum... you get the idea. I should assemble them all for a pic. Oh well, until I do, we went for a performance today, so I snapped some pics:



After camp, we stopped home for a quick lunch, and then headed up to meet Tucker, Grace and their mom and grandparents at the rope swing on Salmon River.

Dante and Tucker (also at epoch arts) build some sort of connected fortifications.

Lucia and Tucker's sister grace bury things in the sand and poke them with sticks. Including my toes. Ouch!

After the first couple of balloons made me realize this was a bad thing to bring to a nice spot like this, the kids were only allowed to use the balloons in the water, since they didn't go flying off. So this naturally lead to 7-year-old scuba. At least the balloons were filled with a pump, and not exhaled air.

Seems like such a good idea, Lucia decides to give it a whirl.
