Camp

I have so much to say and no time to write. We've been having so much fun seeing friends and family, taking walks, playing at the lake, playing games and enjoying everything else camp has to offer that I haven't managed to find any time for sitting at the computer and blogging. So, a lot of life has gone by and I haven't recorded any of it, but here are, atleast, some snippets.

 

 Stopping for lunch at our favorite rest stop on the trip up.

 And, yes, that is the hamster in Aravis's hands

 FINALLY! 

After 2 and a half long days, 1400 miles, with 3 kids, 1 baby, 1 hamster, cloth diapers and 300 miles that took 11 hours we made it to NY state!

 The annual 4th of July bike parade at camp

Aravis's first day of camp.
The camp where we have our cottage runs youth camps for different ages during the summer. It's a perfect situation because its sleep-away camp but I'm just a few feet away, which works well for all of us......ok, maybe more for me than them. This was Aravis's first year as a camper. She was in a cabin filled with friends and a cousin and she had a great week.

 My "little" brothers, my mom and me

 playing with rocks

I spent my childhood building moats and lakes in this very same dirty, rocky sand. Today, I would much prefer running my toes in Florida's smooth, pretty sand but I didn't care then, and they don't care now.
