Camp For a Day
During college I spent my summers working at Camp Sealth, a large residential summer camp on Vashon Island. So I was really excited that this past weekend they had a family day with all the traditional camp activities available. We took our relatives who were visiting for the week, packed a picnic, and headed out for a day of camp. Just being there in the place where I made so many summer memories and good friends, and laughed the hardest I've ever laughed in my life - it made me more than a little nostalgic. Plus it was so fun to see our own kids experiencing a taste of camp. They loved it!
Here's Grampa Tommy with Ember on the Boata Dock.

Yogi waits to get his craft project ironed. He made a fuse beads square.
On our hike back from the archery range we spotted a Western Tanager in the distant trees - a bird I've rarely seen.
