Arnold's Vacation on Cape Cod

Arnold had a good time on Cape Cod this weekend.

He insisted on going "rafting."
He climbed on a boogie board (in the river)
and went hunting for crabs and other wildlife.

He ran on the beach -- never seen him so frisky!

He made a new friend -- Peaches, his doggie hostess.

And seemed to revel in the excursion.

Update

There were plenty of extra pancakes at home the weekend Beau was away.

And he had a great time and is looking forward to going back to help for a week at a time for two sessions of resident camp later this summer.

From Camper to Staff

July 2006, Beau went to camp for the first time.

He went back to Cub Scout camp the next year.

In 2008, he "graduated" to attending Boy Scout camp.

He went to Boy Scout camp again in 2009.

In 2010, he got to go to Boy Scout camp with his dad.

Yesterday, he was back at the Cub Scout camp.

As staff.

Tully Lake Solstice Weekend 2011

We were lucky enough to be camping at our favorite campground last weekend.

We arrived Sat. afternoon and set up the tent.

Our site was by the lake.
(Why go to Tully Lake and camp under the canopy?)

Sunday morning, Casey and Britt got up 6 am to go fishing.
Then we had Father's Day breakfast.

Well, some of us had Father's Day breakfast.

Much of the day was spent fishing.

And relaxing.

And napping.

And canoeing.

Our neighbors came out for the afternoon.

Casey wouldn't leave on Sunday until he tied Britt for "number of fish caught."

Packing for the trip home is usually less tidy than the trip there.

Got home about 10 Sunday night.
