Camp!

A week ago I put Rynn on a bus with a suitcase and a backpack

to travel more than five hours to camp in Wisconsin's North Woods.

It was her first sleep away camp experience,

and it more than exceeded expectations.

We got to join her on the last day of camp for Family Day-

a day to share in a rodeo, a ski show, and cookout. 

Eleanor is already convinced that she is going to be on that bus next year.

School's Out

And so let summer begin...

It has been a cold and stormy spring.

But the weather cooperated just long enough for the annual tradition 

of hitting the beach on the last day of school.
