Camp Fourth

When you have ten kids in one farm house, you need a plan.

Actually, forget the plan – you already have a camp.

So you might as well embrace what you have going on.

Which is what we are currently doing right now.

“We” being Sally, Sarah, Emma and myself.

Yes.

You counted correctly (if you were counting).

Ten kids.

Four adults.
Camp Fourth involves hikes, good intentions, multiple snack times, daily grocery store runs, periodic breakdowns, impromptu games of Red Rover and varied sleep stations.
We’ve made crafts. Rock necklaces and bead art and painted rock bands.

My Internet connection is sketchy at best and my time to easy-breezy sit down and type a post is limited.

But the days are long and good and exhausting and fulfilling.

And I know the memories we are crafting are of the enduring and precious variety.
