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!
