Weekending

Campers & Hikers

It was a busy weekend with everyone here — in & out — from Friday night until this morning! There was a lot of laughing, cooking, playing, and just general hanging out. So fun. Hardly any photos.

I had the little kids yesterday while Ali drove Junah & Ginny to summer camp!!

They’ll be there until Friday and I can’t wait for them to get back so we can hear all about it!!

I went to summer camp with my cousin Gail for two summers — when I was 11 & 12 — and I still remember how much fun it was. And even if it wasn’t fun — discovering a gigantic leech on my leg after drifting over into the weeds, scrubbing dried toothpaste off my legs, brushing out a massive tease of my hair (those last two having to do with a Miss Ugly Contest… which I won!!) — it makes a great story!

Maddy, Katy & Viv (l-to-r) took off early this morning for their 4-day hike in the Porkies. Any combination of them will head up north again on Friday to pick up the young campers! Maddy & Katy attended the same camp when they were kids and still know the camp director. They worked as camp counselors (Stitch & Lilo) for quite a few years, as well.

The weather was as gross over the weekend as it was during the week, but there’s finally a bit of very welcome relief today and, after some rain later today & early tomorrow, the rest of the week looks very promising for the campers & hikers!

  1. Junah and Ginny look SO excited to be at camp, I hope they have a wonderful week! The first year I went I was sure I would hate it and I wound up loving it so much that I begged my parents to let me stay for a 2nd week. And they did.

  2. I only went to summer camp once but it wasn’t my favorite (and it was just a day camp). Here’s hoping the campers and hikers have good weather and loads of fun!

  3. The smiles on Junah’s and Ginny’s faces just glow! What fun they will have (and I can wait to hear about either!) I hope that Maddy, Viv, and Katy have an excellent time in the Porkies!

  4. SO much fun! I loved my summer camp experiences! Such great memories and stories. I can’t believe Junah and Ginny are old enough for sleep-away camp. Gosh, time really does just fly . . . XO
