Camping

If the bears were the part of camping that Isaac liked least, what part did he like best?

While we were in Yosemite someone we met asked Isaac that question, and he answered, "The mountains." But if I answered for him -- and I can do that, you know -- I would say it was a tie between throwing rocks into the river and wearing fleece "footy pajamas."

Throwing rocks was a huge hit, and Isaac could have done it all day long. He got warmed up for this activity back home -- there's a little wooded area outside of his music class, and every week we throw sticks into a little creek there. But the creek is shallow, and we always have to hunt for appropriate sticks, so the gratification is minimal. The Merced River, on the other hand, is full of water, and the beach is covered with toddler-sized stones.

I'm not sure why he liked the pajamas so much, except that it tied in with his pretending to be a little baby.
