Mom Summer Camp: Day 3

Today we picked blueberries.

4 lbs actually.
It rained on us.
But that made it more fun.

He was inefficient.

What did I give them for picking 1/2lb of berries and eating 1lb?
That's right, more farm fresh ice cream.

It seems I planned summer camp around all the good ice cream spots.

Mom Summer Camp: Day 2

Summer camp today consisted of:
field games (not such a hit)
fishing (hit)
archery (hit)
swimming (hit)
arts & crafts (not such a hit)

No summer camp is complete without archery.
It did not disappoint.

The craft
Our town puts on a "free" arts & crafts thing every week.
"Free" for the thousands of dollars we pay in taxes.
Funny how that works.

But this is a commentary on summer camp,
not political issues.

Mom Summer Camp: Day 1

Welcome to Mom's Summer Camp
Today: miniature golf and bumper boats at Kimball's Farm.

Waiting to start.

Tackle golf on hole 7

This is what went down on hole 11.
And I let them.

BB's (bumper boats)

And we topped it off with some ice cream.

Tomorrow should be interesting.
The line-up:

fishing
archery
arts & crafts
field games

and of coarse

swimming.

But we do that every day.

Stowe, Vermont

This weekend we left the world behind and let the wind take us on our adventures.

Finders Keepers

Do you remember this chair I re-upholstered?
I found it in the garbage.

Check out all these Legos.
I found them in the garbage.

This little cradle was left out for the garbage truck too.
It needed a little TLC,
but nothing a little paint and sewing couldn't fix.

Tomorrow is garbage day!

4th of July

Just waiting for the fireworks. 

We were too enamored with the show to remember to take any pictures.  Now, Daniel wants fireworks at his birthday party.

It was neat to reflect on all the things that went down right there in Boston to make Independence possible.  I’m very grateful.

So Delicious

I wanted to curl up next to him.
