| We took the boys to their summer overnight camps this week. Jack's in Vermont and Naish is in Maine. Both camps are so beautiful, Art and I are jealous. This is Jack's sleeping quarters for the next 4 weeks! |
 |
| Can you guess what this "throne" is for?! |
 |
| Gamma Linda was here for a visit and was able to help us see the boys off for their summer adventures. We miss them already but they learn so much at these camps about who they are, about the natural world, and about interdependence and FUN! |
 |
| Can you guess why they lock up the dishes and silverware at Jack's camp which is located on the side of a Vermont Green Mountain? |
 |
| Naish ran right to the tetherball court at his camp. He's psyched about archery, sailing, kayaking, and the four day hiking and camping trip he'll take with his cabin-mates. |

| The "Kitchen" at Jack's camp. |
 |
| Naish's camp has a comprehensive ecology program including a small naturalist museum and laboratory with an extensive collection of local insects, reptiles, birds, and mammals. |
 |
| I think Jack is now my height and will probably be taller than me when he returns! |
 |
| Naish's camp also has a working farm which provides much of the food for the campers. "Farm" is one of the camp activity choices. This makes me chuckle. |
 |
| Jack's camp is gorgeous with all the dappled sunlight coming through the woods. Here is the "swimming hole." |
 |
| I'm going to put this photo on my fridge to point out when the boys are having a spat. |
 |
| Wendy, Jeff, Ivy and Reed came up to the farm for a fun Sunday afternoon visit. |
 |
| Ivy and Reed liked the chicken coop |
 |
| Mom's give the best hugs. |

| Happy Birthday Naish! |

 |
| the laughing! |
