Thanksgiving Family Weekend

Hey everyone,

Hope that you had a great Thanksgiving last week! Every year we have a Family Weekend right after Thanksgiving and it's always one of our favorite weekends of the year. A lot of the families that are there come every year so it's cool to see the same people year after year.

This Thanksgiving Weekend, a bunch of summer campers came with their family and friends: Tierney, Hannah, Estee, Ben, Ashley, and Alex. It was so great to see all of them. You can see them in these pictures along with Diana, Gil, Jamie and Mike. Fernando, Alex K., Sarah and Reiss were at the weekend, too, so it was a lot of fun to have them around.

On Saturday night of the Family Weekends we always take the families on a hayride and counselors sing camp songs with them during the ride. When I was driving the hayride I realized how those camps songs are burned into my memory. I don't think I had heard any camp songs since Labor Day, but as soon as I heard the first line of "The Littlest Worm" or "The Canoe Song," it felt like it was just yesterday that we were singing those songs in the dining room. Sounds crazy, but if you're a camp person then you know what I mean.

When I was taking the wagon back to the barn Sarah and Alex K. jumped out and tried to scare me, but I had a feeling something was up so it didn't quite work. Beau and Heath gave me a good scare at another Family Weekend one time, but that's a story for another blog. :-)

Anyway, if you haven't been to a Family Weekend you should definitely try to come to one. Hope you all are doing great.

Jay

Oops! Sorry, Matt. You know we've got nothing but love for you. I'm really going to have to double-check these things when I write them.
