Final night at camp .... A dance party inside, and 9-square outside .... some very happy campers ....
Laura slept over, we love our little mini-retreats, and she arrived a little later than planned because I wanted to take Isaac to the new shark movie (The Meg) that just came out and so she came around 7 ... she ended up biking out from Crofton!! We wandered around the party and then headed home for a hot tub ... and then sleep!! The next morning, we headed out to Wild Side, where the Winslows were all alone (since campers left the day before) ... Mike made everyone breakfast and coffee. We arrived to see Susan sitting happily in the sun while Mike cooked.
Elliot didn't remove this onesie all week I don't think ... here he is grudgingly out of the house when we made him come with us for breakfast ;-)
I had to prep for the staff dinner in my yard for that night, so Laura left on her bike a little after lunch ....
Almost over ... final lunch on the final day ... campers JUST left!!
Didn't get any pictures of the staff dinner ... it was a record breaking 1.5 hours long from start to finish. Pretty sure nobody wanted to be there other than to eat their food and get out of there! So, they ate, and they got out of there! They headed to the hot tub, and then Lisa, Zalinkos and Chris and I sat around the propane fire ... it was a strange and awkward evening and I was happy to have it over. The evening started by Spock (the Taylors cat), attacking Mittens by her cat down (not sure if she was coming or going), but with everyone around, I see Mittens on her back screaming and trying to paw at Spock to get away from him. So, I jump in and grab Mittens and put her safely inside and I am now seeing red....great way to start the evening hey? I didn't even dress up and it was funny to see that Lisa didn't dress up either .... she normally always does ... but it was a big sign that things are not good when Lisa just 'shows up' to do her thing and help, but doesn't dress up. Vanessa and Matt came and ate and left to catch a ferry ..... then we had Taylors on one end of the table visiting with the Zalinkos and then summer staff at the far end of the table .... it was a weird sight. So, no pictures of the evening ... but here are the camp boys all displaying their happiness at summer being over! That's a wrap on Summer 2018.
New appreciation for this girl through all this turmoil ... very nice friend.
