We recently "returned" from our annual summer "getaway." The weather didn't always cooperate while we were at Stuart and Emilie's camp, but rain or shine, the kids enjoyed every minute. Rainy afternoons were spent playing Monopoly, and between rain showers, Wayne, Cole, and Heather swam, fished, canoed, kayaked, and biked.
Cole caught his first fish.
Heather tried fishing for a few minutes.
There were roasted marshmallows and smores.
I'm sure you can imagine how much Cole enjoyed that!
Wayne and his charcoaled marshmallow.
Wes played a lot of guitar.
The A-frame neighbor's took Wes and Cole for a spin.
Cole went on his first real bike ride with Wayne and me. We rode past a large swamp and saw a family of loons.
On our last evening, Cole's friend Zephyr came over for supper. Unfortunately, the weather was drizzly, so no swimming, fishing, or canoe rides, but they had a lot of fun playing pretend Star Wars and card games.
It was a fun break before getting back to the responsibilities of everyday life.
Thanks for sharing pictures and text of your week at camp! Glad to see that you enjoyed it, rain or shine!
ReplyDeleteCouldn't get over Wayne and Cole now going solo in the kayak and Cole's big fish! Also, I think it is wonderful that Wayne and Cole can go on such a long bike ride with you!
Welcome back home!
So glad that your kids can have so much fun, despite the rain! Remember playing LIFE or Monopoly on rainy days! Did Cole get to cook up his fish! It looked really big! Very impressive! How nice of the neighbors to give the boys a ride on their ?pontoon boat!
