Camp is Over!

Well, Girl Scout camp is over. It was an exhausting but fun week. There were a number of girls that cried during the sleepover and 2 from my group that couldn't be convinced to stay. But, other than that, it was a successful week.

We are looking forward to a free and clear July, hopefully this mild weather will stay and we'll have an enjoyable 4th of July holiday weekend.

Update

The boys have made it back from NH and their Father/Son Camping Trip. They had a blast, got to catch up with lots of friends. They unpacked and just have to vacuum the car.

Girl Scout camp has been tiring and busy, but well worth it. Anna is having fun as a camp counselor, her camp name is "Sleepy" and I've been dubbed "Harmony".

It's been cooler here, which has been very nice.

Boys' Camping Trip

Bogdan and Gabriel have arrived in NH for their Father/Son camping trip. They also picked up Gabriel's friend Owen and they are all headed up to Glen, NH for a camping trip with our old parish. They should have good weather.

Here, we just got pelted with a huge cloudburst. Marian and I were at the bank and got doused just going from the car to the bank.

Fireflies

Amazing fireflies around here every (clear) night. We can see them in our big picture windows in our bedroom and family room. We've noticed that they are quicker here, they seem to flash off and on quicker than in NH. Also they are more green than yellow colored in their light. Interesting. I'm sure there's a scientific reason.

Marian had a double header softball game last night, at 6:30pm it was 98 (F) outside! It finally cooled off to 85 (F) by 9pm. We doused the girls with water in between innings. They went through 5 gallons of water.

Anna has a double header tonight and it's predicted to be 95 (F), so it will be another hot evening for them.

Splash Country

Wet, but fun, time at Splash Country. (Dollywood with water) We all have sun on our shoulders and faces, but it was fun. And it was very hot, so the water was cooling.

Busy Week

VBS is almost done and it has gone so well. Except for a stomach flu going thru the group, yes, my kids got sick, but are all better now.

We are all looking forward to sleeping in!
