Happy Campers

 The girls just got back from one of their favorite weeks of the year - camp week at Camp Grady Spruce! This was their fourth year to attend (should have been fifth, but COVID), and they were excited to be reunited with some other returning friends. 

It was "Island Paradise" week. While the girls are without electronics, we're lucky enough to receive hundreds of photos from camp each day. We look carefully through them for glimpses of our girls having the time of their lives. The pictures tell the story! Not pictured: Emma stayed up on water skis for nice, long rides. She was also "Camper of the Day" one day, which was announced at evening campfire! Sara earned her fourth "rag" for leadership. She's pretty proud of those!

When we picked them up, the girls were tired with barely-there voices. While they were ready-ish to head home, they were also sad to leave. Lots of hugs and exchanged phone numbers with new friends. That's the sweet spot, I suppose.

While the girls were gone, Steve and I enjoyed our free evenings after work. We spent a couple of those at the dog park and hitting up some of our favorite spots. We also celebrated our 21st wedding anniversary! We had a day date with some shopping and lunch, followed by a couple of sweaty rounds of Popstroke.

After we got the girls home and a couple loads of laundry in the wash, we celebrated with a dinner at old faithful, BWW. They had lots of good stories to tell and we enjoyed every last detail. Happy campers all around!
