Family Camp

August 24-26, 2015

Well, we ambitiously packed yet another adventure into our summer-of-fun ... Mommy and the kids went off to YMCA family camp with some other Moms and kids.

Cast of Characters
Plus this great bird of prey!
Early arrival picnic...and catch (of course)
Paper making...
...and the little one who got away...
...and found green dye that was not intended for her...
Ice cream for (Mommy) to recover
It was general craziness...
Swinging...
Scoring...
Crafting...
...and Mud. Plenty of mud...

MOMENT: Busy, Crazy, Memorable

We spotted a peregrin falcon when we arrived - a memorable highlight. Then there was the host of new challenges for all of us. Tavish tried a few new things ... he spotted the falcon nest while playing tennis and had an introductory ukulele lesson while Keva and I duked it out in a game of Candy Land. Keva tried some time in the "shire" (young kid camp) on her own for a bit while Tavish and I went out in kayaks. Then there was the craft shack ... see the green stain showing Keva's quick escape from my sight?! We hit the beach and ultimately hit the road early. We bit off more than we could chew by this point in the summer, but in hindsight realize that we still go a whole lot of learning from the adventure together.
