A few days ago, I blogged about some mysterious goings-on with giant stacks of cardboard and some open space in front of my office building. It turns out to have been a project orchestrated by some Carls from the class of 2003 - back in town for Reunion - to construct an elaborate pavilion for their class. The project was apparently supposed to culminate in a huge arch, but didn't quite get that far. This afternoon, it looked like this:
As arches go, it was more harrumph that Triomphe, but it was still awfully cool and, from a distance, beautiful in a serpentine way. Vivi rather liked it, and even engaged in a short game of hide-and-seek with Julia. (The game would have been longer but for Julia's preschoolerish insistence that "you guys aren't doing it right." Further guidance wasn't forthcoming.)
This little trip to and around campus capped a pretty good summer solstice. True to longest-day-of-the-year form, both girls were up waaaaay too late. But isn't that what endless daylight is for?
