Fun at Camp

On Fridays, everyone at camp wears their tie dye tee shirts. 

What a great extended weekend! Nate has been here since Wednesday and we’ve been having so much fun.

We’ve been very busy!

We went on a boat ride.

We had a picnic.

We hung out outside.

Nate and Xander went on a million ATV rides.

And everyone took some time to rest and relax.

4th of July

Happy 4th of July. Pinterest empowers me to pose my children in matching shirts and expect them to smile and look at the camera. But these actually turned our pretty cute, so obviously, the next holiday I will have high expectations.


Big Sandy Lake has a great firework show and so we decided to make popcorn for a snack. About 30 minutes into this ridiculous hot project, we looked at each other and asked what we were doing. But it was delicious and a nice addition to fireworks.

Campfire

At the Tuesday campfire, the cabins sing their cheers, all of the kids roast marshmallows and get to eat s’mores, we sing lots of songs, and then the counselors perform some skits. The campfire starts at 7, which is probably slightly too late to be out and about, but after bathtime and jammies, we went anyway. 

Xander really enjoyed the cabin cheers and was pretty mesmerized.

These are photos of Meghan roasting him a marshmallow. However, he actually went to the campfire early (even before I got there) and had a s’more. Then he wanted a “clean” marshmallow, which he got, so this is actually his third of the ni

I handed Augustus off (luckily several of our staff are baby-crazy and always happy to hold him).

After Xander had a s’more, he got to assist in handing out the sticks. He took his job very seriously and I couldn’t stop taking pictures of him. He was SO cute. He was totally comfortable bossing around Counselor Grace, choosing which kids got sticks, and then RUNNING back to the front to get more sticks. 

At 8pm, after he told me “one more song” every time I told him we had to leave, I finally got him into the stroller. He wasn’t happy we had to leave.

Visitors

We had visitors this weekend and it was so fun!! Grandma Debbie, Aunt Cindy and Cousin Mikey came to camp to visit. We drove the jeep, did arts and crafts, shot archery and slingshots, paddleboarded, paddleboated, made s’mores over the campfire, and golf carted all over camp.

Now our second group of campers is here and camp is in full swing!
