Memories....

Camp. What can I say except that it was WONDERFUL! I shared some pictures in an earlier post, those were some of the best. I'm not sure how to write about all the great things that happened so I am just going to highlight/list them:

• Left home at 10pm on Wed.
• Hit a skunk on the ride up - threw my back out in the process
• Arrived at camp at 4am after taking one wrong turn and stopping for a few bathroom breaks
• Yard at camp was not mowed - some places were taller than A

• Found a lone pair of underwear in Tom's bed...women's...
• Biggest thing anyone hooked all week was me...OUCH! Fish were small but they put up a fight

• Boys canoed with dad

• A broke my glasses the second day there...thankfully the general store had super glue
• A used the outhouse (although there is indoor plumbing as well)

• Saw a beautiful sunset at the lake

• My camera battery died the second day...glad Kirby brought his as well
• Hiked in the woods a bit - NEVER left the path - we learned our lessons last year
• Founds TONS of raspberries and blackberries and even a few blueberries.

• Picked enough to make pancakes with cool whip and berries for breakfast

• Saw both moose and wild canine tracks - though never saw the real thing

• Z learned to use a slingshot AND a hand saw
• Kirby to remove a rather large thorn/splinter from my foot
• Boys built a "drum set" out of logs and sticks and performed "shows" every night

• Roast hot dogs and marshmallows by the fire every night

• Heard coyotes and loons at night
• The boys burned their sneakers in the fire
• Z and Tom played tons of wiffle ball and had a great time doing it - never seen them have so much fun together without arguing

• Saw a woman driving a motorcycle with her man on the back on the way home...HYSTERICAL
• Learned that Kirby and I can be friends
• Arrived home at 7pm on Tuesday....wanting to be back at camp

Did I mention that Kirby and I learned that we can be friends? More on that in another post...
