Sleep Away Camp!




This was James' home for a week this July.  It was his first experience spending an extended period away from home without any family members, and he had a great time!  He says that he really enjoyed the archery because the teacher was very nice and loved the dining hall with all the food. (Eating is  a favorite for this kid!) 
He returned home in the same clothes that he left in!!  The craziness of this fact was softened by the knowledge that they went swimming at least once every day but, still, yikes!   His grin when talking about it tells me he very much enjoyed reveling in not having to keep to "home-level" standards. I'm sad to say that we don't have a photo of him in all his glory on the last day, but at least there's video...phew!

Us



Hello!  Here we are.  Becky, Gunnar, James and Asa.  Right now the boys are 11 and 7 though I won't be able to say that for long.  We are in the middle of having a wonderful summer and we are all grateful for the sun, warmth and opportunities that vacations and longer days bring.   Hopefully we will be able to share some of our adventures on this blog.
