Can you believe the camp uniforms?

 

My older sister from Ca. initiated the idea that all three sisters should go with their families in the summer time, to give us, the sisters and the cousins a total week of spending quality time together.  This is the first time that all the cousins had spent a week together like this.  It was amazing.  They did many of their "firsts", this summer, just as I did 30 years ago. 

Here we are in 1967 and then again in 2007	We haven't changed at all, right?

I love tradition

For instance, they went fishing, sailing, skiing, archery, riflery, zip lines into the lake and they learned how to eat the famous red hot fire ball candies I had told them about over the years.

 

First fish.....	Wow second fish...eeks fish!

First time at riflery...Aim	Fire....
Pretty good for beginners!	Pull and Release!

 

First time on the wheel....	for gymnast too!
Driving already	Sportsgirl is a little more adventurist!
Her first ski	Her first Batik

The kids were free to roam all over the camp as they pleased, and each one would make their own plans with different cousins.  The time spent with their cousins was fantastic, and they also loved being with each other. 

The pier	Interesting!

Fun in the cabin before lights out.	The best belly laughs!

We would be woken up every morning with the bugle just like we were, way back then.  We were busy from morning till evening, not only having new experiences with all the sporting activities, but meeting families from all over America.
One of our most successful summer vacations!
